Ave. It is an old age home. He�s listed as an inmate and under occupation is stated �no occupation.� Julia is living with a married daughter now Mrs Vollers and claims widowhood as her marital status. The other younger daughter Theresa, age 37 is boarding with other families. --- Henry�s Death Certificate from the City of New York, No. of Certificate: 1107 Henry Shaphoff died at Webb. His parents information is listed as unknown. They stated his occupation as Shipbuilder. He is listed as 73 y 1mo 4 dys. That makes his birth date from the 1900 Census a year off. So he was either born in 1829 or the math is incorrect. I�m betting the math is wrong but we will probably never know. The Funeral Director was G. W. Howie on Fordham, the best I can read it. --- Just in case: A �Caulker� filled up cracks (in ships or windows) or seams to make them watertight by using tar or oakum-hemp fiber produced by taking old ropes apart.
