Individual certificates with the same information follow the register Beginning in 1898, each physician, clergyman, justice of the peace, and undertaker was required to keep a registry of the name, age, residence, and time of death of the decedent. Each person registering deaths filed quarterly with the county clerk or the local board of health in the case of incorporated cities. In 1905, the state passed a law requiring each county to file a uniform certificate with the State Bureau of Vital Statistics. These records are chronological by year but not by month. Entries were recorded in order of report, not by date of death.
Individual certificates follow the register.
Deaths occurring in Ogden are not included on this register. The researcher should contact Weber County Vital Statistics. Series 81448, Death certificates of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, contains death records after 1904. Processed by M. Call in September 1998.
