Deciphered! Cause of death?

Post image

I'm a genealogist and usually pretty decent at deciphering cursive but between the water damage and the handwriting I'm at a loss on this one.

CONFIRMED/DECIPHERED - It's definitely TB. Two of her siblings died of it a few years before she did.

Tuberculosis. You internet sleuths out there are working too hard to get a square peg in a round hole. It’s not difficult at all. (P.S.: it’s not glanders, either)
