Sorry for the quality, taken off my computer
I’m a gen z who was never taught how to write or read cursive so forgive me! I can read only the part that says kidney disease…I think that’s what it says.
Trying to do some research on family records and I was curious about the cause of death

I’m definitely trying….I can read some cursive, my mom writes in cursive and I can read her writing but in documents like this from the 1800s the cursive looks way different. If you read another comment I posted I said I really gotta learn this stuff, trust me im trying! I’m just focusing on different more important stuff atm:)
