During the last half of the 1800s, the US Government collected mortality data on the Mortality Schedules. Mortality schedules listed people who died during the previous year. These schedules were taken along with population schedules during the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses.

The [1870] list of deaths at the "Eastern Lunatic Asylum" under the charge of Dr. Whitney, begins with R.C. Heavrin. None of the occupants of the asylum were married. The list is somewhat indefinite in one or two respects, but as accurate as could be obtained. Edw. E. Smith
