The Death Certificate # 9017, State of Montana, Flathead County provides the following information on Joseph Imholt: Born June 17, 1867 in South Stillwater, Minnesota, Joseph was a Carpenter doing "general work". He had last worked at this trade in October 1928. His parents were Bernard Imholt ( b. Westfeilen-Munstel, Germany) and Theresia Roeder (b. Berlin, Germany). Joseph apparently had not been "well" and was under the care of a physician for the three years previous to his death. The Bronch-pneumonia which was the primary cause of death was of abrupt onset, and the Doctor indicates the onset at April 14th and his death occurring in the early morning hours of April 16th. Although Arterio-sclerosis is also listed it is only a contributing cause and not the "principal cause of death." It is interesting to note that the informant on the Death Certificate for vital information is Joseph's sister Mrs. Elizabeth Shubert. She was probably living in Everett, Washington at this time, and must have been summoned by Joseph's wife, Evelyn. Joseph Imholt was aged 67 years 9 months and 29 days at the date of death. He was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery at Columbia Falls, Montana.
