A few weeks ago I also got a record from the New Hampshire vital records office. They were much faster than Massachusetts, but they are a smaller state (pop'n wise), so no surprise....

My great-grandmother Caroline Alma (MacCartney) MacLea's death certificate verifies:

She died 24 Apr 1987, having been born 8 Dec 1893 in Nova Scotia, Canada. Her parents were David W. MacCartney and Emily J. Pearcy (not Peardon, as I had thought). The "W" was also a surprise, though the "J" stands for Jane.

She died in Laconia, N.H., though she lived in Gilford. She was buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Stoughton, Mass., thereby providing me with a place to get the unofficial death record for Peter Richard MacLea as well. Woo-hoo!

She died 24 Apr 1987 after a two week bowel obstruction, aged 93, and was buried 27 Apr 1987. File 1987002081.

And I don't need to tell you she was a sweet lady. I remember her, the only one of my great-grandparents who was still around when I was born, and after! Heck, I was almost 12 when she died! I have a picture of her in my genealogy photo folder and I will link that here at some point.
