Including Cause of Death List 

Transcribed by Janice Melton Knotter

 

Introduction:

Although most of the death certificates were submitted by doctors, it is probable that they often did not arrive until after the death occured, and may have based their diagnosis on what the family reported.  Also, some doctors were a bit remiss in submission of the death certificates, and often submitted them months after death. Some doctors were not adept at spelling, and it was difficult to decipher their writing; it is also posssible that the clerk made errors while transferring the information from the certificate to the registration book, so we suggest you check throughly for name variations. The listings in this book are in the same order as the registration book.
