Vital Statistics.
In preparing this chapter upon vital statistics, the effort has been made to gather all the items that the records of the town contain, and to arrange them in chronological order. Of course, such a plan does not comprehend by any means a complete list of the births, marriages, and deaths for the entire period, because for much of the time a complete record was not made. For some of the years, particularly since 1888, there are few omissions ; it is manifest from the records that for some of the previous years they were kept with exactness.
The record of births is undoubtedly the most complete of the three divisions. In the earlier years, it was the practice to enter upon the record book of the town clerk the record of a family which any member might present. This usually comprised the date of birth and names of the children, with similar facts as to deaths, if such had occurred. It is entirely probable that there were many families in the town during these years that furnished no such rec- ord. But whatever is of record is here presented, in the most con- densed form that would still keep the facts, so far as they appear, intelligible.
The record of deaths is the least complete of the three items. In the marriages, when the residence of one of the parties has been elsewhere than Bedford the place is mentioned; in all other instances, Bedford is understood. The Rev. David McGregore and the Rev. Thomas Savage, seem to have been notably painstaking in making a return for record of the marriages solemnized by them.
While such a record as is here presented is not altogether satis- factory, the fact is that no complete record is possible.
