Birth and death classification ledgers, 1887-1901, 1947, 1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313800546

The death classified by location ledgers (1887-1899, 1901) contain worksheets, usually in pencil, arranged by county and subdivisions of a county, which provide statistical data about the deaths in each jurisdiction including sex, race, social status (married, single, etc.), age grouping, nativity, nativity of parents, and cause of death. There is often a separate volume for deaths occurring in select cities. The deaths classified by cause ledgers contain the same information as the above plus the month of the death and county and civil subdivision where the death occurred. The causes of death include specific diseases. Both of these series are incomplete and neither contains names of individual decedents. The mortality summary by county of residence (1947, 1956) includes data similar to the death classification ledgers.
