NOTES taken from a handwritten TRANSCRIPT (author unknown—Sally
Landreville?)
of Records of DEATHS and BURIALS occurring on DRUMMOND
ISLAND, MICHIGAN, during the years 1912 – 1944 in THREE VOLUMES
The following compilation by M. Stone [2010] is made from photocopies
given to her by Judy Melvin, Sexton, Drummond Island Township Cemetery, of a
handwritten collection of extracts from death/burial records held in Sault Ste.
Marie, Michigan supposedly covering the deaths that occurred on Drummond
Island, year by year.
Book 1: 1912 through 1919 (Feb.)
Book 2: 1919 (Feb. con’t.) through 1930 (July)
Book 3: 1930 (July con’t.) through 1944
M. Stone has standardized the format, with her own editorial
comments appearing in brackets. [ ]
INDEX
[page 111]
Keep in mind spelling variations included in the following
index. Different registrars spelled the name of one person in different ways,
so spelling variations do not necessarily indicate people variations.
Behind the index is a separate list of medical people;
midwives, and registrars.
I have not attempted to index “informants”, but in some
cases they are informative and should be checked.
Causes of death sometimes follow patterns which may also be
useful.
