Mark, I helped Sid Thomes document those Death Records ( at the Health Dept). It was a long time ago, but I believe that it did list the cause of death. Assuming you are from Escambia County------, There is a book at the downtown Library with the deaths from that era. If you go there , ask Dolly Pollard to show you where to find the book. If you're not from P'cola, you can to write the genealogy room for a look up. If you need the address, I will be glad to provide it. Better still , maybe one of the library volunteers is reading this and will do a look up for you. Doris
