Miscellaneous Wicomico Deaths (Part 2); Wicomico Co., Maryland Contributed to the USGenWeb Archives Jill M Pevear Copyright 2004. All Rights Reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/md/mdfiles.htm ********************************************************* The following are notes taken from death certificates located in the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. Most of them are from Wicomico County; they are in no particular order; and I only copied (by hand) the ones that I thought would be on my family tree, so the list is by no means complete. COD is sometimes my best guess of the doctor’s handwriting (which hasn’t improved over the years). P.S. No disrespect intended; but my favorite cause of death has to be “dropped dead in church.” My question is was this person very good or very bad?????
