Of the deaths in 1919, 28 were buried elsewhere, 2 in Maine, 2 in Massachusetts and the other 24 in different towns in our State.
There were 14 brought from away for burial here. As usual many of them had been gone years, others but a short time.
There were 6 whose united ages was 1 year, 9 months, 11 days. Aside from these the average age was 55 plus.
Miss Rhoda Converse was the eldest, 96 years, 5 months, 27 days. One other was over 90; 8 between 80 and 90; 16 between 70 ad 80; 8 between 60 and 70; 8 between 50 and 60; 7 between 40 and 50; 3 between 30 and 40; 2 between 20 and 30; 2 between 10 and 20; 1 between 1 and 10; 2 only were of school age.
The sex was; Males 31, Females 32. Of 24 one of both parents were born in other countries, some themselves were from other lands.
Of the 58 births 27 were Males, 31 Females. 28 of the number one or both parents were born in other countries.
The Vital Statistics of a town are one of its most impor- tant records, not merely for today but for generations to come. If everyone would see to it that the records of their own families were correctly and fully filled out on Marriage, Birth and Death Certificates when handed in, it might be of great use to them and their descendants at some future day, and a great help to us in making out the records of today.
I hereby certify that the foregoing returns are correct, according to the best of my knowledge and belief.
JAMES M. LAWS, Town Clerk.
