Black American Deaths
1921 - 1932
Death Record 4-1/2

K thru Z

The medical reasons may be spelled unusual, but I tried to keep them spelled the way they were in the register. There wasn't much stated in this record book except what you see below and the medical examiner/physician who pronounced death and the funeral home. The register number was also given but I found some were duplicates so they are not included.
