These two were instantly killed. Line 9: There is mystery and doubt in this case but as there was no attending physician or post-mortem examination the truth cannot be arrived at. ========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== CENSUS-YEAR: 1880 STATE: WA Territory COUNTY: Clark ENUMERATION-PLACE: District 2 MICROFILM-ROLL#: A1154-3 ENUM/DISTR: 23 ENUMERATOR: J.C.

ENUMERATOR'S REMARKS: The above 19 deaths were gathered from a District comprising 9 Townships each six miles square containing only 1494 inhabitants and nine resident Physicians (not counting irregular doctors) and he lives on the eastern boundary of each District. And I have noted that many of these deaths have been induced by the use of violent and useless remedies in the hands of ignorant people. For instance Milton Rambo line 17 for some slight ailment drank one quart of some decoction of bitterheads and bark******through with grain & liquid 14 months & died see physicians correction of death - Jerry L. Hill line 6 - had this pneumonia **** ** sobriety by his friends before July* interim* was called but it produced convulsions if posit s***.
