CONDENSED CLASSIFICATION OF DEATH PERIODS.
The County has lost 768 under 10 years of age; it has lost in the second period (10 to 20 years old) 132; in the third period. 179; and so on as above stated to the eleventh period. None who have died in the County lived to see the eleventh or 100 year period. The number of deaths since the organization of the County, in 1803, has been, so far as reports from twenty-three cemeteries could be had, about 2,700 persons, viz: 1,622 names and ages obtained; 174 names, but did not get their ages; about 904 graves counted without names or age of the dead.
The periods above have names and ages and number 1,622 persons, many of whom were among our most valued citizens and dearest friends. The above table (and which was made up with great care) shows the extraordinary circumstance of nearly one-half of the total death loss as having been of the children under ten years old. This is a very surprising circumstance. Yet it seems true. Of the tenth period Mrs. Susanna McLain was the oldest on the list. She was 94 1/4 years old at the time of her death.
