*NOTE at the bottom of the page: "The above report was taken from Dr. Reynold's report being health Physician of Palmyra and having attended most of the cases. I thought best to copy his report and then fill out the blanks as I could obtain further facts from the families and hence I believe my report to be very accurate. There are 3 cases nos. 10, 11 & 13 in which the cause of death was little more than old age. Very respectfully, Madison M. Graves, Enumerator."
