| Title: | Birth and Death Classification Ledgers. |
| Dates: | 1887-1901, 1947, 1956. |
| Language: | Materials in English. |
| Abstract: | The death classified by location ledgers (1887-1899, 1901) contain worksheets, usually in pencil,
arranged by county and subdivisions of a county, which provide statistical data about the deaths in each jurisdiction including
sex, race, social status (married, single, etc.), age grouping, nativity, nativity of parents, and cause of death. There is often
a separate volume for deaths occurring in select cities. The deaths classified by cause ledgers contain the same information as the
above plus the month of the death and county and civil subdivision where the death occurred. The causes of death include specific
diseases. Both of these series are incomplete and neither contains names of individual decedents. The mortality summary by county
of residence (1947, 1956) includes data similar to the death classification ledgers. |
| Quantity: | 26.25 cubic feet (15 double oversize boxes and 4 half-height oversize boxes). |
| Location: | See Detailed Description for shelf locations. |
The births classified by location ledgers (1887-1898) also contain worksheets, each noting sex, race, condition (legitimate/illegitimate),
number at birth (single, twin, triplet, etc.), parents' nativity, and age grouping of parents. This series is also incomplete and does not
contain the names of individual newborns.
