I found this in the archives of the Panama Canal site, hope it helps. Sandy Panama Canal Messages posted to this board also appear in the "PANAMA-CANAL-L@rootsweb.com" mailing list. Forgotten Detail - Re:List of Deaths in Panama: Nov 1909 - Mar 1916 US Consulate Records Author: David Date: 9 Jun 2004 5:02 AM GMT Classification: Query In Reply to: List of Deaths in Panama: Nov 1909 - Mar 1916 US Consulate Records by: David Percey Post Reply | Mark Unread Report Abuse Print Message I probably should explain more about the info I posted earlier. The dates listed here do not refer to the date of death. The info serves as a finding aid to diplomatic correspondence regarding the death of Americans in Panama. Dates listed refer to the date of communications or despatches to or from diplomatic personnel. If you are looking for an ancestor or know the approximate date of death, look by name. The actual files and correspondence are available at NARA & can potentially contain a wealth of information. Here is the NARA file descriptor: "Death reports were filed in the Decimal File (Inventory 15, Entry 205), arranged by time period, 1910-29, 1930-39, 1940-44, 1945-49, thereunder by file number (3**.113) with ** representing the number for the country of death." The file no. for Panama is 319.113. The Canal Zone is assigned (11f), but I have not looked at this. This is only a partial transcription of the abstracts of diplomatic communications and is available on microfilm M973.
