"Included in the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880
censuses were questions regarding those who died in the twelve
months prior to the enumeration. They list persons who died
between 1 June and 31 May of the year prior to the census.
Even though these lists of deaths are widely believed to
under-report actual numbers of deceased, this is still a valuable
source of information. In many states where vital
records were not kept it provides a nation-wide death register
for five years between 1849 and 1880. The schedule lists
the deceased name, sex, age, color, widowed or not, place of
birth, month of death, occupation and cause of death. In
1870 the parents' birthplace was added."
