1880 Multnomah County, Oregon Mortality ScheduleAbstracted by Connie Lenzen fromPublic Records Loan Microfilm 71, located at Oregon State Archives. |
In 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880, the census taker asked questions for additional "schedules" besides the regular population schedule.
In 1880, the schedules, or lists, were:
Schedule No. 1: Inhabitants. This is the population schedule we are used to seeing.
Schedule No. 2: Products of agriculture. This gives the name of the farm owner, acreage, farm value, expenses, estimated value of farm products, number and kind of livestock, and amount and kind of produce.
Schedule No. 3: Manufactures. This includes schedules for boots and shoe factories, cheese and butter factories, flour and grist mills, salt works, lumber and sawmills, brick yards and tile works, paper mills, coal mines, agricultural implement works and quarries.
Schedule No. 5: mortality. This lists the name, age, sex, color, marital status, place of birth, place of birth of parents, and occupation, and the cause of death for persons who died in the twelve months prior to the census day of June 1st.
Supplemental schedules 1-7 for defective, dependent, and delinquent classes. Includes insane, idiots, deaf-mutes, blind, homeless children, prisoners, paupers and indigents in institutions, poorhouses or asylums or boarded at public expense in private homes.
The Oregon schedules were microfilmed by the Oregon State Archives as "Public Records Loan Microfilm 71". A copy is at the Oregon State Archives, the Oregon State Library, and the Genealogical Forum of Oregon.
There are 345 names on the 1880 Mortality Schedule for Multnomah County, Oregon. One should assume it is not a complete list of people who died between 1 June 1879 and 31 May 1880. The census taker might forget to ask the question on his visits to the houses, and other human errors could creep in.
The following arrangement is alphabetical, but that is not the way the names are arranged in the film. They are arranged by Enumeration District. Inside the Enumeration District, they are arranged as the census taker walked the district.
Not all the information on the schedule was abstracted. The researcher is encouraged to read the original documents for the "missing" information: sex, color, marital status, occupation, place of birth of parents, how long in the county, place where disease was contracted if not at the place of death, where was the place, and name of attending physician.
