Henry's death certificate states his cause of death as basilar meningitis from dentition. Particularly sad is the fact that this means that the swelling of the gums caused by the normal cutting of teeth at that age resulted in an infection that migrated to his brain. The family was living at 849 9th Avenue in New York City, where Henry was born and died. Birth date was calculated from his age at death which was recorded as 9 months, 20 days.
