Death Records
Vital Statistics: 1855 Deaths
Source Image 1 / Source Image 2 / Source Image 3 / Source Image 4
Note on Source Images and transcription: at some point in the past someone went in and “corrected” the original copies: crossing out, updating, and adding information. Most of the time, it seems it was simply to update the causes of death. All the notations for race - here specifically the “B” that denotes “Black” were added after the fact. Also I question the veracity of Alonzo Robertson and Valentine Whitmer being marked as “Slaves”. But always refer to the source images.
