SERIES: 28286
TITLE: Death registers and burial permits
DATES: 1905-1944, 1955-1976
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by death date.

DESCRIPTION: This series contains the registrar's copy of death certificates for the Kanosh Precinct along with burial-removal permits. In 1905 the State Legislature adopted a law providing for the registration of births and deaths in the state under the direction of the State Board of Health. In accordance with this law, the state was divided into precincts with precinct registrars appointed by county commissions. The person acting as undertaker for any deceased individual was to submit a certificate of death to the local registrar. The registrar would then issue a permit for burial or removal of the body from the precinct. Sextons within each precinct were to indorse the permit, verifying burial of the remains, and submit the indorsed permit to the local registrar. The registrar was to make a copy of each death certificate "to be filed and permanently preserved in his office as the local record" and to submit the originals to the State Registrar once a month ("Laws of Utah, 1905," chapter 120).

The registrar's copies were recorded on forms identical to the originals and, like the originals, included such information as the place of death, name of deceased, sex, color, marital status, date and place of birth, name of and birthplace of father, mother's maiden name and birthplace, signature and address of informant, occupation, date and cause of death, place and date of removal, and signatures of the registrar and the undertaker.
