1860 St. Louis County Mortality Schedule
In some early census years, when the census enumerator visited households, he not only took the census of the living residents but also inquired about the recently deceased. Any person who died in the previous twelve months should be listed on the mortality schedule.
There are approximately 4,000 names in this schedule of people who died before 1 June 1860.
Some information was hard to read or missing. If a question mark is listed in the birthplace, it means that information was not listed. If you locate your ancestor, please check the original document to verify the information.
The original 1860 federal mortality schedule is located at the Missouri History Museum Library and Research Center. A copy of the index is available at St. Louis Genealogical Society and in the Emerson History and Genealogy Center at St. Louis County Library Clark Family Branch. The latter facility has both the index and the census. The Missouri mortality census is also available through the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and on Ancestry.com.
Under “Ward”: A number indicates a St. Louis City ward; a name indicates a county township.
