An unidentified person asked: > Are there mortality census for all WI Counties? I am interested in St. Croix > 1880's The 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 federal censuses included Mortality Schedules for the year preceding the enumeration. They list deaths from June 1 through May 31 of 1849–50, 1859–60, 1869–70, and 1879–80 and include information on the deceased’s name, sex, age, color (white, black, mulatto), whether widowed, place of birth, month in which death occurred, profession/occupation/trade, cause of death, and number of days ill. In 1870, they added parents’ birthplaces, and in 1880, the place where a disease was contracted and how long the deceased person was a resident of the area. Check the LDS to see what they have available on microfilm. A good resource for finding out information like this is: The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy by Szucs and Luebking, available at most public libraries. Hope this helps, Kathy Lenerz
