CENSUS-YEAR 1850 MORTALITY
MICROFILM #T1133-58
STATE ILLINOIS
COUNTY LAWRENCE
SCHEDULE 3.--Persons who DIED during the Year ending May 31, 1850
The 1850 Mortality census year begins June 1, 1849 and ends May 31, 1850
Because death certificates were mostly unknown prior to 1902, enumerators
were instructed to collect the name and information for every person who
died during the twelve months preceding the official census date. These
censuses were taken from 1850 to 1900, although not all have survived.
By 1902, most states had implemented vital records laws and the mortality
schedules were phased out.
It is important to remember that the information is available only for
the year immediately preceding the census. Those who died outside of
this range were never enumerated. Even then, the information was under-
reported. According to U.S. Public Health Service estimates, only about
60% of deaths were enumerated in the mortality schedules.
