SEXTON REPORTS TO THE JACKSON, TENNESSEE CITY COUNCIL, 1858-1860; 1868-1878; interments for the City Cemetery (Riverside Cemetery); information taken by Jonathan Smith from the microfilm copies of these city minutes. Data furnished: DATE OF COUNCIL MEETING WHEN THE REPORT WAS BEING FILED, OSTENSIBLY FOR THE MONTH PRECEDING, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED; NAME OF DECEDENT; AGE OF DECEDENT, IF GIVEN; CAUSE OF DEATH AND SOMETIMES OTHER INFORMATION.

Abbreviations for the causes of death for this listing:

apoplexy = apop bilious fever = bil fe burned = bu cancer = ca childbed = chb congestion = cong congestive chill = con ch consumption = cons croup = cr diarrhea = dia diptheria = dip dropsy = dr drowned = dro erysipelas = er flux = fl gravel = gr heart disease = h dis

JAMES HADAWAY served as sexton of Riverside Cemetery (when it was simply called the City Cemetery) for many years. When he died from yellow fever, in 1878, the comprehensive sexton reports to the city council ceased. From that time on, deaths were reported only statistically (so many white deaths, so many black deaths).

NOTE: The names of persons buried in Riverside Cemetery, those whose names are listed in this publication, represent a SELECTIVE listing. The many stillbirths, black and white, children whose names were not given and some others, were not copied.
