1870
Macon Co. Mortality Schedule


This is a transcription of the Mortality Schedule for the 1870 Macon County, IL Federal census. It's a listing of those who died the previous year, that is, between 1 June 1869 and 31 May 1870. This useful tool predates most state mandated vital records, although it's doubtful this list is a complete listing of everyone who died during that 12 month period, as it was all too easy to overlook someone.
