Thanks to John Dill for the following information about the death records I asked about this morning. I expect it's probably also very incomplete for Scott Co. for the same reason he stated - probably not many death certificates were filed in the early days when the law first went into effect. And I messed up typing Sue Acuff's (not Acruff) name as the lookup volunteer for these records.
