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 reported in the mortality schedules. ---------------------Begin Actual Transcription---------------------------- ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================ CENSUS YEAR: 1860 STATE: MI COUNTY: Calhoun DISTRICT: Homer ENUMERATOR: Allen L.

Consumption 3 mths . The great number of deaths have occurred among children from scarlet fever & diseases peculiar to them. There are comparatively few deaths of ****** in proportion to the population. There is no disease peculiar to the climate itself or the region of country, unless it is ague & fever for ten years this disease has almost disappeared, but the heavy rains **** continue, have seemed to revive it. The water of the region is strongly impregnated with lime, no miasmatic disease has prevailed for years. ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================ If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access the rest of our growing collection of FREE online census transcriptions by going to the following URL: http://www.us-census.org/ ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================
