Reading notes
The mother's surname is written 'Kethledge' or 'Kethlidge' - the fourth-to-last letters are not certain at 2x; Ancestry's index reads 'Kethledge'. The certificate gives her birthplace as Pennsylvania; the 1880 census [D.378] gives New Jersey. The undertaker's name is faint. A blue registrar's number (about '4859') is written across the upper left.
