    - city and county of death
    - gender and race
    - marital status
    - age and date of birth
    - occupation
    - place of birth
    - parents' names and birthplaces
    - date of death
    - dates attended by physician
    - cause of death
    - attending physician and address
    - length of stay in hospital or institution or length of residency for transients or recent arrivals
    - place of burial or removal
    - date of burial
    - undertaker name and address
    - name and address of informant

    Records of stillbirths were required to be filed as both a birth and death record, so you may find records of stillborn children in this collection.
