Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Alphabetical Abstract of the Record of Deaths, in the Town of Dedham, Massachusetts: 1844 1890 Editor from information outside the record. In a few instances we have discovered that the record did not correspond with the original returns on file. Words and figures printed from the files rather than the record have been marked with an asterisk. All errors which are discovered in the printed record of births and deaths should be reported in writing to the Town Clerk, so that they may be properly corrected upon the record. With the assistance of Dr. Francis L. Babcock of the Board of Health, a table has been constructed which shows the diseases from year to year, and the number who have died of each disease. We have 'also constructed a table showing the number of persons who have died -at each age, from stillborn up to 102 years. It is believed that these two tables will be not only interesting, but valuable as statistics. In the table of diseases it did not seem necessary to take each year sepa rately, and we have divided the first twenty years into five periods of four years each, and the balance of the time into periods of three years each, thus being able to show the whole number for each disease on one page. In most cases the diseases are called in this table by the names as they appear on the record, in order to show the changes in nomenclature, from time to time. At the end of the book is given an index of the cities and towns in the United States, also an index of the names which appear as maiden names, together with a list of the men who are recorded as soldiers. The copy for the printer has been made by Miss Martha A. Smith, who has also assisted the Editor in proof reading and making indexes.
