Noble
Co Indiana Births 1882-1938:
Noble Co Indiana Deaths 1882-1938:
Simon Journal Deaths:
1900-1943
Coroner's Report of Violent Deaths: 1927-1939 A gentleman by the name of Frank Simon
kept a journal of events occurring in his neighborhood of LaOtto and the
surrounding area. His record of deaths from 1900 to 1943 are included
here, along with those recorded in the Noble County Health Department from 1888
through 1938. Although later records are on file within the health department,
those after 1938 have not been released for transcription. It should be
noted all incidents were not
reported at the county level. Some were filed directly with the state.
The Indiana State Division of Vital
Records has kept birth records since Oct. 1, 1907 and death records since
1900. Prior to that time, records were kept at the county level at the
discretion of local officials. A few birth and death records
were recorded in books kept in the Noble County Board of Health Office starting in
1882. It is located at the County Office Complex, 2090 State Rd 9,
Suite C, Albion IN 46701, telephone 260-636-2191. Information included in the county
records is not all-inclusive. In death records, the cause of death and the location
are usually listed; and sometimes the birth place of both the deceased and the
parents, the burial site, occupation, spouse, marital status, attending
physician and/or name of undertaker might be included. This transcription
includes the name of the deceased, parents (if listed), age at time of death or
birth date (if listed) and book number in which the record is located.
Some of the records were included in both county and city or town books.
Whenever there was a discrepancy, both versions were included. The amount of information retained in
early birth records often does not include the given name of the
child. It usually lists the father’s surname and infant’s sex (male or
female), along with the name of the parents, date and place of birth. Sometimes
parents’ occupations, nationality, residence, age, and place of birth are
included.
Every effort was made toward accuracy
in this transcription; however, some handwriting is nearly illegible and often
misspellings, along with inaccurate entries were detected (i.e., the sex of the
child, event dates, etc.). Uniform spelling was not used in early
records. The party who recorded the event may have incorrectly translated
the submitter's handwriting;
and often names were spelled differently than the version used today. For the sake of indexing, some corrections in spelling were made if an accurate
version could be determined. Changes from the original record are
identified by italics. An asterisk (*) beside the name indicates
the sex of the child appears to be incorrect when viewing other records. Spellings used in tombstone engravings were
generally used as reference guides.
