Query: Hattie's death certificate

One loose end pertaining to Harriett or Hattie A Leonard is to show conclusively that she was Harriett Adams. All evidence points to it, but we don't know for sure, as Karen has pointed out.

Harriett Adams married in New York State and didn't have children. A very good candidate for her husband is John Leonard. 

If we can find the death certificate for Hattie A Leonard, we will learn the name of her parents. We believe they were Alfred A Adams and Jane Scott. 

Can anyone help with this? Hattie A Leonard died in Rye NY in 1914, was born in 1847 in Stamford CT. She was buried in the Union cemetery in Rye, and her tombstone says her years were 1850-1914. She is buried next to John Leonard. We need to find out if she was born Hattie Adams.
