1850 Mortality Schedule

LaSalle County Illinois

ilgwlogo2.gif (1731 bytes)

No official death records exist prior to 1878. This is an unofficial listing of the people that died between 1 June 1849 and 31 May 1850, the census year, as collected by the census takers for the first time. If a family moved away since a member died, the information was given by a neighbor who still lived there, and although they guessed their best, some deaths were probably forgotten, others could be off a few years in age, etc. Writing was difficult to transcribe, so as always, check for several spellings. Spellings, often phonetically, were left as written on the microfilm. Even more than usual, use with a grain of caution.

Column Explanations:

1.  Name of every person who died during the year, that normally lived in the family
2.  Place of Residence
3.  Age
4.  Color – black or mulatto, remainder were white
5.  Sex
6.  Married or widowed, remainder were single
7.  Place of birth
8.  Month in which person died
9.  Profession, occupation or trade
10. Disease or cause of death
11. Length of illness
