While we are not sure if James actually died at home... we would hope so (please see website below for a historical account of the fire)... at least we know James was not interred in a mass grave, or an unknown grave as so many others were!
He also has an individualized death certificate, which shows a Dr. in attendance and who signed his certificate.
History:
Incarcerated about 1929 for Robbery and received 10 - 25 yrs in the Ohio State Penitentiary, Columbus, Franklin, Ohio. However he served less than a year before a fire (a quite famous/infamous fire) broke out at the prison and he died of "Conflagration" or buring to death. See link below for full story on the fire at the prison.
