Û Death Register

Register of Deaths Book No. 1, 1 Sep 1880 — 11 Nov 1897

Transcribed by Mary Kay Kuhfittig.

FHL film #1255499 was used in this death records index transcription. All columns in the original record are included with the exception of that indicating color. In a very few instances where a person was of a color other than white, I have so indicated.

Names (presumably the mother's) from the index where a stillbirth occurs are included; however, it is noted that these records are listed separately, and they were not included in the LDS microfilm, so I was unable to give further information.

In many cases the writing was challenging to decipher. I would encourage any researcher to try alternate spellings. I apologise in advance for any transcription errors and welcome any corrections.

Finally, the diagnosis of "abortion" occurs with some frequency. This should not be misconstrued. In medical terminology it simply means a loss of pregnancy up to the fourth month of gestation, or what a lay person would call "miscarriage." In the 1880s-90s an abortion deliberately caused would have been termed "criminal abortion."   - Mary Kay Kuhfittig
