23382,Brigham City (Utah). City Recorder,Register of deaths,1898-1941.,"Chronological in the order reported, which is only roughly chronological by date of death.","The Brigham City recorder kept a register of deaths. In it he recorded the decedent's name\, age\, gender\, race\, occupation\, marital status\, place of residence\, and date and cause of death. The recorder began this register in compliance with an 1898 law which required each physician\, clergyman\, justice of the peace and undertaker to keep such a register and to quarterly file the same with the county clerk or the board of health in incorporated cities (Revised Statutes of Utah 1898\, Title 57\, p. 474-475). In 1904\, the Utah legislature passed a law requiring uniform death certificates to be kept by the state\, and at that time most county and municipal officials stopped keeping death registers. However\, the Brigham City recorder continued to keep this record for 36 more years.",,Public,1 microfilm reel
