Some of those that are listed also have obits listed with them.......... I can email the list if anyone wants it. It may take me a little bit to answer emails - I work overnight plus attend school full-time so please be patient - will answer as fast as I can..... Let me know if you want the list emailed.......

I didn't think the Mortality Schedules were on Heritage Quest. I just tried some names from the Ancestry Mortality schedules and couldn't get them on HQ. Ancestry has 1850-1880.

Hi Nancie, I'm not sure the e-mail went through when I sent it to your other e-mail address. Anyway, if you still have time to look up an obit, I would really appreciate it. We are having lots of snow here too in Colorado! John O'Brien, born 21 Jan 1875 in Phila. died 7 Jan 1905 in Phila. He was a policeman and was married to Ellen. Would be great if you could find an obit on him. Thanks so much.

When the U.S. census was taken for the years 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1885, 1890 and 1900, the enumerators were asked to collect information on all persons who had died during the 12 months preceding the census. This information is included on a mortality schedule. Census day was declared to be June 1st of the census year, therefore the enumerator (census taker) was to ask questions about people who had died between June 1st of the previous year and May 31st of the current year. Information on these special schedules includes the name of the deceased, age, sex, color, birthplace, month of death, occupation, disease or cause of death and number of days ill. The 1880 mortality schedule also included questions about the place where the disease was contracted and the number of years the deceased had lived in the area. The 1890 and 1900 mortality schedules have, unfortunately, been destroyed. What is a Mortality Schedule and where is it found?
