The attached death record shows that this mother, Reed, died in labor on 5 Nov (3 days) and was buried in Eldon Cemetery on 6 Nov 1890. I believe this may be my GG-Grandmother, the death date may be transcribed incorrectly in the record and should be 1889. The details on the page of the record show it was recorded in the register in Dec of 1890 and on the same page there are deaths recorded from 1889. Not proof positive but proof of possibility...

I have added Rozella's full name and actual birth date here as I continue the research and will correct the record when I manage to prove this guess is right or wrong.
