ARRANGEMENT:

DESCRIPTION: These records contain birth registers and death registers recorded in the same volume during the years 1897 through 1905. For births, each entry has the father's age and birthplace, mother's age and birthplace, residence, assigned number, child's name, date of birth, sex, legitimacy, race, color, and parent's names. For deaths, each entry has the decedent's name, date of death, occupation, age, marital status, sex, race, color, residence, term of residence, cause of death, informant making the report, and assigned number. These volumes register births which occur within the county. They were created from certified birth reports filed with the county clerk. From 1898 to 1905, the county clerk was required to "keep separate registers to be known as the 'register of births' and 'register of deaths' in which births and deaths certified to him must be numbered in the order to which they were reported to him" (Utah Rev. Stat. 57:3032 (1898)). In 1905, the responsibility of recording births was transferred to the Department of Health. OBSOLETE RECORD
