Help me decipher this writing please!

[ConfusionIsNothingNew]

I've got a copy of my 2xgreat grandmothers death certificate, but the writing is terrible and I can't make out the cause of death-I was wondering if anyone can help? I'm sure the last word is 'certified'.

Thanks in advance

(Something) there to (something) Arteriosclerosis cerified.

Senility?

Is the first word Senility?

Senility due to.....

Senility due to cerebral arteriosclerosis certified

Senility due to (?central) arteriosclerosis dementia.

Senility due to cerebral arteriosclerosis

I wood agree

Senility due to advanced...something or other

I agree with Bore as to what it says. The writing is very similar to that of a dear friend.

Oh wow thank-you for so many replies!

It sounds like she was an amazing lady, widowed in 1905 at 28, 6 children and pregnant with her 7th at the time. Brought them all up on her own and lived to a ripe old age.

Thanks again everyone!

Definitely 'Senility due to cerebral arterio-schlerosis'. AKA Vascular dementia. Basically loss of mental/intellectual faculties due to blockage of the arteries/blood circulation to the brain.

Bore oh you are right, as usual. But then I shall have to start all over again and people will know think I'm a newbie goady critter :)

Just for you, dear Bore

Isn't the big move happening soon?
