Indiana death records began in 1882 and those are located at the health
dept. The only way you might find out death info on a person who died in
the 1860's is through a cemetery book (if they had a tombstone and it is
readable), through the old newspaper archives (those began about 1855 in
Jasper), or though church records if the person was Catholic or Lutheran.
The library at Jasper has the newspaper archives, death records (church).
The old newspapers were not that great about putting in the dead, if you
were female, came from less than desirable circumstances-- you probably were
not put in the very old newspapers. Who are you looking for?

Can someone tell me if there are any type of death certificates or
maybe

Thanks,
