     The death notices and obituaries in this book cover a large area of the United States. Residences noted were Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachussetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, some listed as Canada West and Canada East, and at least one from Nova Scotia in Canada. The basic information lists the name, age, date of death and residence. If the deceased was a child, the parents are listed. If the deceased was a woman, her husband or deceased husband was listed. An elder of the church was always noted. However, many of the obituaries contain additional information. Some only discuss the religious life of the deceased, some tell about the last illness or accident that resulted in the death, and others give information that to a researcher is "Manna from Heaven."
