These are only the pages to which referred to my ancestors, the HARRIS and CHURCH families. At the time they photocopied a whole page if you wanted a printout of one of your ancestors, so consequently, I got a page of 40+ different Deaths. Some of the writing is hard to read but I copied it as it looks. Page 3, 1860, Deaths Registered in the Town of Shaftsbury, for the year ending December 31, 1860.
