Vital Statistics: 1877 Deaths

Source Image 1 / Source Image 2 / Source Image 3

NOTE: See Source Image 2: More than half of the page is incorrect with a 1 to 2 line shift down between individual and parents in each entry. Rather than putting these entries in alphabetical order, I've left them as they appear in the image to make it easier to match an individual with his or her parents. Hint: pay attention to race if the individiual is black: there's usually a corresponding Col. notation in the remarks section - albeit on a different line.
