DEATHS FROM THE 1875 STATE CENSUS

Columbia County, New York

The following list was taken from the 1875 State Census for Columbia County.  Published by HeritageQuest, PO Box 540670, North Salt Lake, Utah 84064-0670

The microfilm is extremely light and very hard to read in places, I have typed a [?] where the text is either questionable or unreadable.  The original document should be checked to verify the information.

All spelling is as found in the census.

On top of each section for the deaths is "DEATHS occurring in the ______of_______in the county of _______,N. Y., during the year ending June 1, 1875."

This is a very large file - please allow time to load.
