Notes:
                   The principal cause of death was "Carcinoma Stomach with obstruction cardiac orifice"
with contributory causes of "Carcinoma liver metastatic oil -cardiac acute"

This record also gave the following information:
(1) Henry served in the Spanish American war; (2) He lived at 28 John Street, Newport, Rhode Island; (3) He lived for 62 years, 5 months and 29 days; (4) His trade was listed as a General Helper; (5) Working at the Naval Torpedo Station, Newport RI; (6) His father's name was Godfrey Kunz, and his Mother's name was Louise Gower, both born in Germany; and (7) He was buried at the Newport RI, Braman Cemetery.

It appears that his age is incorrect, likely because he wanted to enlist but was only 16.

Enlisted several times for a duration of three years at a time, beginning in 1893, when he was 16/17 years old, but states he was 19.  Again in 1896 for thee years.  Again in 1918 for WWI when he was 42.

Here we find a birth date of 28 Dec 1876

Notes:
                   (Research):5/14/11 On the 1900 New Jersey, Essex, Orange Ward 4, District 166, Census, Rosaline (Rosie) is listed as a 22 year old living with Mom and Dad, with either being M for married, or W for Widowed, having one child and one child alive.  No husband is listed in the same household.

Adam Kunz is 5 years old and listed as a grand-son of Gottfried.  Can we assum Adam is Rosaline's child, from either a marriage, or outside marriage explaining Adam's last name still being Kunz?
