Sometimes death records are lost, misfiled, destroyed, etc. Tombstones fall to weather, vandalism, or were never placed. There may be no way to confirm the precise death date of an individual. The best a researcher can do in those cases may be a 'dead by' date. Paper trails are often created following a death that give you an approximate 'dead by' date since the document exists only because of that death. Tax records where the liable party is listed as 'heirs of' an individual, legal notices for estate settlements, or passing mentions in sources relating to another family member are examples. Below in another source. In the 1800s and early 1900s when modern nursing homes were not yet in use, the feeble and aged were boarded with families in the community. Township trustees provided funding for necessary supplies for the indigent. Occasionally these records reveal a 'dead by' date. The entries here were gleaned from images found on Family Search for free. This is a digitized collection records of payouts made for the care of specific individuals as well as provisions and maintenance of the county poor itself. These pages, in excess of 1500, are not in chronological order and are not indexed. Those involving specific people are digitized first followed by the general accounts of the farm itself. Some individuals appear on multiple images as their care was over a period of time. This list is ONLY those items that refer to deaths.
