Reports of deaths, 1862-1863. The deaths listed here for the period November 29, 1862-December 5, 1863 were recorded in what appears to be a notebook used by the Coroner or someone in his office. Some, but not all, of the deaths also appear in the official record of Inquests and Views. These deaths are of special interest since they occurred during the period of Union occupation of New Orleans following the city's fall in April 1862. The data in the notebook were transcribed by members of NOVA (the New Orleans Volunteer Association) and made available to New Orleans Public Library for inclusion on its web site. Several of the reports are accompanied by links to newspaper accounts of the deaths. December 10th, 1862 Joseph Degruy F. M. C. - 23 years- Louisiana - Private in the Co. C. First Regimt. Native Guards - cor. Tonti and Roman Sts. - Was shot by Lt. Emile Deliege F. M. C. up on Lafourche. Case set for Friday Dec. 12th 62. Post Mortem by coroner Dr. B*. Two gunshot wounds on the body one in the left breast one inch below the left nipple and one just at the pubes about one inch above and to the left of the penis. The wound in the breast was the fatal wound. The ball passed between the fifth and sixth ribs and passed through the right ventricle just at the apex causing immediate death. The wound in the pubes passed downwards in the inside of the left thigh was not necessarily mortal.*Might be Dr. R, or Div. B.
