Vital Statistics
from the
Amherst Reflector 1897-1900

From about 1897 to at least 1900, the First Baptist Church in Amherst published a quarterly magazine called The Reflector. This magazine included stories, the occasional sermon, and news from Baptists at home and abroad. It also included lists of marriages and death notices for members of the church.

I have extracted all of the vitals from the issues available in the PANS collection. The unusually high number of deaths listed in 1898 is because issue B listed all the members who had died in the previous year. I would appreciate any information from issues not listed here.
