1850 Mortality Schedule - Wells County, Indiana

Wells County, Indiana
1850 Mortality Schedule


This Wells County portion was extracted from a statewide volume transcribed by Lowell M. Volkel and alphabetized. It includes the "name of every person who died during the year ending 1 June 1850, whose usual place of abode at the time of death was in his family." Keep this in mind if you find an ancestor here - a death that occurred in November would be November 1849, not 1850.

The Olive Tree Genealogy has a useful glossary of diseases.
