It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.
The treasure today is the certified death certificate for Jonathan Oatley (1790-1872) of Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut:
The information in this death certificate is fairly sparse, mainly because the town of Killingly did not collect a lot of information when a person died in this time frame. The information available is:
* Name: Jonathan Oatley
* Sex: Male
* Date of Birth: ------
* Race: White
* Age: 82
* Date of Death: Aug. 10, 1872
* County of Death: Windham
* Town of Death: Killingly
* City & State of birth: So. Kingston, Rhode Island
* Marital Status: Widowed
* Last Spouse: --------------------
* Usual Occupation: Clergyman
* Residence-State: Connecticut
* Residence-County: Windham
* Residence-Town: Killingly
* Cause of Death: Old Age
* Certification - Physician: E.A. Hill
I did not include all of the other fields on the form which had no typed data in them.
I obtained this certificate by mail from Kathleen M. Pelletier, Registrar of Vital Statistics for the town of Killingly, on 24 January 1992.
