Original records were destroyed due to fire and floods. The public was encouraged to voluntarily come to court and record their families' death records. Due to those circumstances the records are not complete. Recorded dates of death are from July 9, 1881 to June 20, 1908." Another option would be church records which may include his name, address, date of death, when and where buried, cause of death and probably the pastor/priest that officiated at his services.
