Notes: I looked up “hod carrier”—it is a laborer who brings supplies to laborers such as bricklayers and other builders. Not clear to me if the place of death is Church Alley in the town of Calverton, or whether these are two streets in Baltimore, and maybe he died somewhere near the intersection; something similar was initially written in a previous certificate I found for someone else before the person filling out the form scribbled it out and added a specific address). This also looks like it may be a female undertaker, though perhaps working under “Mrs.” Her Husband’s Name.
