REPORT OF VITAL STATISTICS
FOR THE TOWN OF RANDOLPH FROM JANUARY 1, 1876, TO JANUARY 1, 1886.
-
COMPILED BY F. C. GRANGER, M.D.
A retrospective glance at the mortality of Randolph for the past ten years may not be wholly unprofitable or unin- teresting, yet the compilation of vital statistics demands no small amount of labor to make them intelligible and useful. It is a lamentable fact all over the world where certificates of death are required, that too little attention is paid to careful and scientific reports by those whose duty by law it becomes to make them, hence positive data are often difficult to ob- tain and approximations only can be arrived at.
In a number of instances symptoms of a disease are return- ed for the disease itself, e.g., dropsy, which is not a disease of itself, but the result of the disease of some organ.
A class, also, is denominated as " unknown," under which such ambiguous returns as "both lungs diseased, "-no al- lusion whether acute or chronic -" skin disease, dissipation, congestion " - of what ? - " fever, enlargement of the glands of the stomach, sudden cold," &c., are classed.
The neglect of the return of the sex of 25 is certainly inex- cusable.
It argues well for longevity to note that while 27% of the whole number of deaths are under 5, the next largest per- centage is between the ages of 70 and 80, which is 14% ; the
91
next, between 60 and 70, which is 12%, while 1% lived to between 90 and 100.
This study has been directed particularly to the mortality from consumption, pneumonia and diphtheria. These have been tabulated in respect to months, sex and age. See " Summary A."
CONSUMPTION.
There were reported 133 deaths, of which 71 were males and 62 females, with an average age of 45 and 37, respective- ly, the oldest being 81 and the youngest 6 months.
The distribution of deaths through the several months of the year somewhat changes the popular idea, as the " uneven April " and the "sunny June " each record more deaths than the " uphill of May."
PNEUMONIA.
The whole number of returns for the decade was 67, of which 28 were males and 39 females, whose average ages were respectively 50 and 48 years, the oldest being 83, and the youngest 1 year.
In 1887, no return of death from pneumonia was made, while July is the only month in which no death occurred ; but 1882 rolls up the unusual number of 15.
DIPHTHERIA.
Although no death was reported from pneumonia in 1877, diphtheria made fearful havoc, there being 38 deaths in one year, and in a period of fifteen months, from December, 1876, to March, 1878, 44 deaths, or about 71% of the whole num- ber of deaths from this disease for the ten years. During the years of 1880 and 1883 no death from diphtheria was
92
reported. Of the 62 deaths, 36 were males and 26 females, with an average age of 42 and 5 years.
OLD AGE.
It seems that had more care been exercised in diagnosis, fewer than 53 deaths would have been returned from this cause. Of this number, 27 were males and 26 females, with the average ages of 81 and 82 years, respectively.
CASUALTIES.
Under this head have been arranged as follows : Deaths from lightning, run over, falling, cutting throat, each 1; shooting, 2, hanging, 4, drowning, 5, railroad accident, 7, and asphyxia, 8 : in all, 30.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
To the Inhabitants of Randolph :
In accordance with the requirements and custom for the last fifty years, the report of the Selectmen, Assessors and Over- seers of the Poor is herewith submitted for your careful perusal and consideration.
At the last annual meeting the sum of two thousand dol- lars was appropriated for the reduction of the Town debt. The debt has been reduced the past year, as per Treasurer's report, eighteen hundred and ninety dollars and forty-seven cents.
HIGHWAYS.
The repairs of highways during the past year, as in the previous year, have been under the charge of highway sur- veyors elected at the annual meeting. The sum of two thou- sand dollars was appropriated for this purpose. The whole amount expended has been two thousand three hundred and seventy-six dollars and thirty-six cents ($2,376.36).
SPECIAL REPAIRS.
Five hundred dollars were appropriated for this purpose. Seventy-six dollars of this sum had already been expended on bridges and washout previous to the annual meeting. As per recommendation of the Selectmen of last year, we have rebuilt Depot Street. The sum of five hundred and thirty- four dollars has been expended, exceeding our estimate to some extent.
4
PAVING.
Three hundred dollars were appropriated for this work. We have expended a part of this sum at the head of Howard and Union streets, where it cost the town considerable annually to keep it in condition. We think it a good investment. We then decided to spend the remainder on the east side of Main street, as contemplated for years. The water flowing down from the hill has caused much trouble, remaining in front of the post-office. In trying to carry the water past this point, we were obliged to continue the paving farther than the appropriation would permit, making the whole cost for paving three hundred and seventy dollars. This work should be continued the present season as far as the bridge, where it will empty into the stream that flows past that point.
