The copy from the microfilm is at times blurred and unreadable. If anyone would like me to look up a name on the actual microfilm, I would be glad to do so given the name of the township. It would be impossible for me to find time to do a look-up without that information. This microfilm (LDS Film # 0899748) copy of the original pages is difficult to read. An asterisk denotes questionable reading of entries. Marital Status (MS): S = single M = Married W = Widowed Birth Place: BPF = Birthplace of father BPM Birthplace of mother BPD = Birthplace of deceased. MoD = Month of death; CoD = Cause of death; PTO = Profession, Trade, Occupation: L = Laborer; kh = kept house; R: years of residency in the county RAHN TOWNSHIP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY 1880 MORTALITY CENSUS NAME Age MS BPD BPF BPM PTO MoD CoD R BOWIN, Margaret 53 m Wales Wales Wales kh Oct Dropsey 43 WILLIAMS, Evan 63 m " " " Labr May Consumption 12 HUGHS, John 8/12 s PA PA PA Sep Infl bowel 8/12 EVANS, William 1 s PA Wales Wales May Catarrh 1 SCOTT, Joseph 68 m Irel Ire Ire Labr Oct Canc liver BARNES*, Patrick 7 s PA Ire Ire Apr Measles/diph 7 ------, Edward 3 s " " " May " BARNES, Patrick 1 s " " " " 1 ------, Ann 5 s " " " Apr " 5 ------,Celia 4 s " " " " " 4 DUNN, Catherine 16 s KELLY, Agnes* 04 s Mar WALKER, Irel Irel Irel Brdr Mar old age 15 GALLAGHER 01 s PA Irel Irel Mar Diphtheria 1 HOLERN, Richard 48 w Irel Irel Irel Labr Mar 18 DOHERTY,Elizabeth 01 s PA Irel Irel May Catarrh 1 BOYLE, Catherine 60 w Irel Irel Irel Brdr May Heart disease 25 KELLY s Irel Irel Irel Apr Catarrh 2 Infant 1/30 s PA Irel Irel Nov Not known 1/30 BARREN 04 s PA Irel Irel CALLIGAN, Bernard 70 m Irel Irel Irel Labr BRIMBLE, Ellen 25 m Eng Eng Eng Brdr Jun Consumption 5 RUSH TOWNSHIP 1880 MORTALITY CENSUS In some cases the diagnosis of diphtheria is crossed out and replaced by what looks to be the word "croup" which is a condition in which the larynx and/or trachea becomes inflamed causing difficult breathing.
