Deaths

The State of Georgia did not maintain death certificates until 1919. However, many old newspapers did, and these events were thoroughly mixed and scattered throughout newspapers. Some death inscriptions were discovered during the 1960s in old court houses, newspaper offices and libraries and were extracted by Jeannette Holland Austin. Because so many death records did not survive, this makes this extraction a valuable resource.
