These death records are not complete
for the county, but do constitute the death records as they appeared
in the Sullivan Standard and the Milan Republican. Often
the dates given were vague, as "last week", "a few days ago", "sometime
back", "recently" etc. If the exact date was not given, but a remark
as "last Tuesday", "Sunday back", and similar expressions used, the
date of the newspaper and a perpetual calendar were used to try to ascertain
the exact date. The wording concerning these deaths is as it appears
in the news item.
