_____________________________________________________________________

The microfilm copies of the 1916 Marshall County Death Certificates were not numbered. Worse, many were out of any chronological or date sequence. Quite a few were "double copied" One should go to the 1916 microfilm roll for Marshall County and then work one's way through all death certificates for that year. The reel contains certificates for several counties. The counties are not in strict alphabetical order. Marshall County was within Volume 34 for the 1916 year.
