1880s obit statistics I have just finished indexing the death/obituary index of the Greenville Bulletin (1880-1891), Greenville, Plumas County. This index is done a bit differently than other indexes I have done in the past. (see http://www.citlink.net/~lahontan/archive.htm) Instead of placing an asterisk after the name, to indicate the death occurred outside the county, this time, I placed the location of those deaths in brackets after the date. Of the 486 deaths chronicled by the Bulletin, 200 of them occurred outside of the County, or 41%! Rural papers like the Bulletin, did a great job of recording the deaths of former residents, current residents who died outside of the county, or in many instances, relatives of residents who lived elsewhere. Anyhow of those the following breaks down to 157 where in California; 39 in other states and 4 in Canada and Mexico.
