Davis County (Utah). County Clerk

These records document "birth, death, fetal death, marriage, divorce, dissolution of marriage, or annulment." (Utah Code 26-2-2(20)(2014)) Documents may include registered certification or reports, applications, official registers and other similar records.

This series contains a pre-printed book used to record deaths in the First Precinct or health district, which apparently encompassed Bountiful, West Bountiful, and South Bountiful. While most of the deaths occurred in the precinct, some occurred elsewhere and were presumably recorded in the register because the decedent was a resident of the precinct or had a connection to the precinct and was being buried there. The register provided columns to record such information as the name of the decedent, death date, location of death, length of residence, sex, color, race, age, occupation, cause of death, marital status, birth place, last place of residence, and informant.
