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. ---------------------Begin Actual Transcription---------------------------- TRANSCRIBER's NOTE: COD written as "Unk" appear to have been added at a later date by another hand. ==================================================================================================================================================================== CENSUS YEAR: 1860 Mortality STATE: FL COUNTY: Washington DISTRICT: Not stated MICROFILM #: None ENUMERATOR: William McPherson FILE PAGE NO: 1 HW PAGE NO: 1 ==================================================================================================================================================================== LN# LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE SEX COLOR F/S M/W BIRTH PLACE MONTH OCCUP CAUSE-OF-DEATH #DAYS-ILL TRANSCRIBER'S REMARKS ==================================================================================================================================================================== 1 Newberry John 11 M . . .
