DEATH ROLL FOR THE YEAR 1869
In the issue of last week we suggested that if any person had a record of
the deaths caused by flux in the fall of 1869 that they bring it to the
office. We are glad to say the first to respond was Mrs. John Phillips who
lived in Milford at the time, and who was among those who was compelled to
supply fuel for the great monster, death, by giving up two of her children.
It may be that the record is yet incomplete, and if so, we will esteem it a
great favor if some one will make the needed corrections, or if any names
are omitted, see that they are added to the roll. This list will not be
published again but shall be kept in type, and when absolutely correct will
enclose the list with a neat border, and present a copy to all those who may
desire it free of cost.
