My grandfather was born in 1912 and died at the age of 31 from pneumonia. I asked my mom about it and she said a lot of relatively younger people died back then. She said penicillin wasn't even widely used.

This reminds me of the story my Mom told me....of when she was a young girl,she would watch for the Milkman coming down her street. The wagon was pulled by a horse,and this horse took a liking to Mom. He would look for her ,and when she was out,would climb the front steps ,to be near her,much to the dislike of the Milkman! It was a great memory for Mom,in her later years

38 years old was still fairly young even for back then when a man born in 1913 had a life expectancy of 50. Could have been an accident or any number of diseases. My maternal grandfather died in 1920 of pneumonia, and he was 54.

This is a pony & would have been too old to be in WW2. There were other horses that survived.
