Deaths and County Home Cemetery Burials - Introduction & Part I
1853 - circa 1950
The Madison County Nursing Home & Infirmary records date to approximately 1961 and are currently in the custody of the Madison County Treasurer's Office. The following compilation was generated from the original record books in February 2000 by Mark W. DeLawyer and Jean E. Dievendorf.
This compilation however, is not complete. For some reason the original books have a great deal of duplication of entries. This would not be a problem if the entries matched (indeed, this proved invaluable when we were trying to decipher some of the spellings) but in most cases they do not. There were also many double entries with the first names spelled different, or completely different. The difficulty seems to begin with entries made at the turn of the century and only gets worse. By the late 1930's, it was obvious that the best we could do was an educated guess with respect to accuracy. Month and day rarely matched. More often than not, the dates of death were off by as much as a year and we have no way to determine which is the correct date.
As a result, the compilers decided to only generate this list up to the point where we knew that accurate records would be available elsewhere. It is our hope that the following will prove an impetus for others to completely transcribe all of the Madison County Home records into a computer database which can be merged and collated to separate the duplicate listings.
Users of this list are strongly cautioned regarding spellings and dates of death. If you find anything which is close to a name you are interested in, your best bet is to access the original books and then check death records for the name. You should also be ready to check up to a year before or after the date we have provided as, once again, we can not determine if it is always correct.
The following compilation covers the period from the 1850's to the late 1930's although there are a few entries from the 1950's. Confirmed burials at the county cemetery are noted with an asterisk and most of these are from the 1880's and 1890's. There are undoubtedly more burials than the list indicates.
In addition, there appears to be only one gravestone at the county cemetery. This is over the grave of Huldah Root. Although far from complete, the list contains nearly 700 names.
