Death registrations belong to a record category
known as "vital records."
As time progressed death registrations tend to
include more information, such the age of the deceased, the date and place of
birth, the name of the parents, the occupation of the deceased, the name of the
spouse, the name of the person providing the information, etc. Death records are
key to locating obituaries, which may invaluable information about the deceased.
Death records also provide the cause of death, critical when documenting genetic
predisposition to disease. Although death registrations generally can be relied
on for an accurate death date, information about the names and birth places
of parents -- and even the birth place and age of the deceased -- are frequently
inaccurate,If The Person Giving The Information Knows or not. Other sources,
like cemetery, church, probate, pension, mortuary and Social Security records
should be searched when information from a death certificate is suspect and
needs to be verified.

ancestors were there)

LAST ONE LAFOLLETTE. Tenn. (UP) — Mrs. Louisa Byrd, 81,
looked down at the casket of her sister, Mrs. Parzida Lloyd, 87.
"I'm the last one," she said. Then she fell over the casket, dead.
LaFollette, Tenn. Sept, 20 (UP) A series of dynamite
explosions, said by residents to number six, shook this area today,
killing one woman and injuring her three children. The blasts partially
wrecked a business building. Mrs. Prudie Rutherford was killed instantly as
she was hurled from an upper floor of the building. Her children were leaving
the building and escaped with slight injuries,
according to witnesses.
