OK, I received a copy of the Bastrop County Death Records book. Not mine though as Karen forgot to send it and now, since they ran out, they are printing more. I was able to borrow one until mine gets here next week. It is a spiral, soft covered, book, with deaths sorted by date of death. It has date death filed, place of death, names of deceased, sex, race (this is not just a book of white folks deaths, all races are listed), marriage status, name of father and mother, date of death, cause, physician, place of burial, burial date and undertaker. There are spelling mistakes such as Pettytown Cemetery is written as Petty? Tom? but these can be figured out. All in all it is good to have it and it has irreplacable information in it. It goes from September 1917 to March 1940. Of course, not all deaths in that timeframe is listed as this was one record book, but there are 1671 names and information. It's not just from the undertaker Schewe either, Luckett, Dawson, Bryson, Grimes, Combs and other undertaker's info is in here. Have to figure out a few things like is the City Cemetery, Bastrop Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery the same one. Recognized lots of names. Other cemeteries are mentioned that I haven't seen before. It is hoped that the owner, Jim Cox, will donate the original to the Bastrop Museum and I was told that was being worked on. We are fortunate that he allowed this journal to be transcribed.
