Beyond our Elusive William Daniel

Death Certificate:
He was Amos H. Halamuda, born 23 May 1888 in Texas, and he died 16 Jan 1968 at Brooke General Hospital at Fort Sam Houston in Bexar County, Texas. He was widowed. His occupation was carpenter in the building industry. He was a veteran of World War I. His father was Anton Halamuda, and his mother was Sophia (name unknown). The cause of death was pending microscopic examination. The informant was the official records of Brooke General Hospital, Fort Sam Houston. He was buried 19 Jan 1968 in the Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery.

There was an amendment to the death certificate that said the cause of death was myeloproliferative disorder, probably chronic granulocytic leukemia.

NOTE: There appears to be an Amos M. Halamuda, b. 28 Aug 1888, d. 16 Jan 1968, service date start 26 Apr 1918, interment 19 Jan 1968, in Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery , Section Y Site 806. The death certificate appears to have listed the incorrect middle initial and birth date. There is a World War I Draft registratoin that also give the name Amos M. Halamuda born 28 Aug 1888 in San Antonio. He was single at the time. He was employed as a carpenter, but the employer's name is hard to read, but it looks like Capt. Chas. Abel. It looks like he was employed in Leon Springs, Texas. He was tall, stout, with blue eyes and brown hair. This appears to be the same Amos, or a different one.
