The number was but eight, the record of Sexton McTigue showing as follows: [NOTE: no specific dates given] Mary A LESLIE, city, 56 years, tuberculosisAnna Dixon PEASE, city, 31 years, tuberculosis Eugene LEE, city, 50 years, Bright's disease Elizabeth STEWART, city, 21 years, typhoid fever Flora A.

SMITH, city, 13 years, diabetes Elmer HUNT, city, 80 years, heart disease James Leslie SMITH, Clay twp., 10 years, diptheria -- Kokomo Dispatch 8 Dec 1902 DecemberThe Death Rate Grows Smaller
It speaks well for the healthfulness of Kokomo that while the population of the city has probably increased more rapidly in the past two years than in any similar period since the discovery of natural gas, the list of the dead, as shown by the record kept by Sexton Mark MCTIGUE, of the Crown Point cemetery has grown less. This would mean a very material decrease in the mortality rate over preceding years. The interments in this cemetery, which now alone is employed in the city, were 167 for this year, against 187 in 1900 and 170 in 1901. The smallest number of interments recorded in any year in the past decade as in 1899, when 166 persons found homes in the "houses that last till doomsday" in this beautiful city of the dead. The number of interments since the opening of the cemetery on November 20, 1868 is 4,026. Nearly every grave was dug by the hands of the present sexton, Mark MCTIGUE, who but with one or two brief vacations has been engaged in grave-making in this and the old burial ground for more than a third of a century. The interments by month for the year just closed were as follows: January .......... 10February........... 9 March............. 29 April................ 20 May................. 14 June................... 9 July.................. 19 August........... 19 September...... 17 October........... 12 November......... 8 December......... 8 Total.............. 167 The interments for December numbered but eight, the smallest in any corresponding month for many years and holding exactly with the November record, which showed the smallest number in any November in twenty years. Of these, two were stillborn children and three were from outside the city. In 1891, there were 16 interments in November and 19 in December. The interments for the past month were as follows: December 3 - Sarah C SMITH, city, 45 years, tuberculosisDecember 6 - Infant son of Archibald TAGUE, city, stillborn December 13 - Albert S. SOUTHARD, Chicago, 50 years, accident December 14 - John LITTLER, Lewiston OH, 92 years, diabetes December 21 - Sarah A. WEAVER, city, 76 years, bowel trouble December 22 - Infant daughter of John L. BARD, city, stillborn December 23 - Pearl MCCAULEY, Clay twp., 20 years, tuberculosis December 25 - Anna E. REAM, Logansport, 54 years, paralysis |
