1860Mortality

What is a 'mortality schedule'? When a census was taken, the enumerators were to collect information on all
persons who had died during the previous 12 months. This information is included on a mortality schedule.
The 1860 mortality schedule lists deaths from 1 June 1859 through 31 May 1860.

Enumerators of early census's were not known for their meticulous records. Errors and omissions were fairly
common. If a person was listed, it was likely they belonged there; but if a person was not listed, the possibility
remains that they were missed -- as deaths were often under-reported.
