    3. I am not at all sure such a list is available. At Arch Street Meeting House, where I was a guide for a period, the story was that there were a lot of yellow fever victims buried there, but the Meeting itself had no information. There were also a lot of people buried, as I understand it, in mass graves at 4th and Walnut (or somewhere near there). I think so many people died so quickly there may have been no funerals, and maybe no church records either. There certainly seems to have been a lot of panic, which would preclude the keeping of good records. And of course, the City kept no death records, I think, until close to 90 years later.
