Birth and death registers, 1853-1870

Note

The commissioner of the revenue registered births and deaths for the county and then turned his books over to the clerk of the County Court. The clerk made abstracts to send to the state auditor and would also preserve the books in his office.

No births or deaths recorded between 1860 and 1863. 1869 is also missing.
