Aged 22yrs. Father: David Duff (settmaker) Mother: Sarah Duff ms Gavin. Cause of death: pulmonary TB. Reg. by widower Robert Davison Aug 16th. (As a papermill worker, another statistic of the dangers of factory work before present health and safety laws. The dust in the mill would have increased the likelihood of succumbing to the disease) Davina died just weeks after the birth of her son Robert. He then died of malnutrition (possibly also congenital TB) at just 4 months. TB was rife in this time period and is a disease which can lie dormant in 9 out of 10 people for years until the immune system is depressed through illness, malnutrition or poor living and working conditions. Burial: Inverkeithing Witchknowe Cemetery 8th June 1917 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
