Certificate of death - name of deceased John J.Rittenhouse,age 57- occupation- carpenter, married - birthplace U.S.- Last place of residence 37 Orchard st,Elizabeth,NJ. How long resident in this state [life time] Place of death St Michaels Hospital,Newark,NJ. I hereby certify that I attended the deceasd during the last illness and that he died on the 5th day of March 1893.The story of the Rittenhouse family has his name as John Jacob Rittenhous,but when his sister-in-law file for divorce from his brother Wm Henry Rittenhouse it mentions Wm's brother Joseph.Its possibly that he had two middle names Jacob Joseph,as far as him having a son Joseph, I check the birth index and all the census and found no such name,could have been a still-born. As I do my research I'm finding that a lot of them had one or more middle names
