Thank you very much Ann for the following information...
This is an actual death certificate--Ancestry has just added SC--
The only word I can make out as cause of death is hemorage and that is in the Secondary cause line.

UPDATE...Cora's baby child Gladys died last August, 2006.
Now all her children are with her in Heaven.
