As of April 28, 1909 all births and deaths occurring in the State of Tennessee were required to be reported on specially-printed forms, collected by the clerks of each school district in the counties, previous to each July, who on or before August 1st of each year passed these forms on the county court clerk who would transcribe the data into a book and forward the original forms to the State Board of Health. The information registered for deaths: the name, surname of the decedent, date of death, gender, color, whether married, single, age, place of death, place of birth, occupation, cause of death, name of attending physician (if any) and date of report. (ACTS OF TENNESSEE, 1909, Chapter 314, pages 1256-1259) This registration was repealed April 2, 1913 and a broader scheme of reporting vital statistics became law, effective as of January 1, 1914, requiring in addition to the same information heretofore collected the names of the decedents parents, their birth-places and information supplied by the attending physician The local authorities registered these reports with the Bureau of Vital Statistics, State Department of Health, periodically. (ACTS OF TENNESSEE, 1913, Chapter 30, pages 64-69) Therefore, there has been except for most of 1912 and all of 1913 a system of registration of vital statistics in Tennessee since 1909. In listing the deaths of persons who died, of age or over age 50 in Madison County, 1908-1912, the local number of each report is given but where it is deleted in the original form the much larger number stamped by the Bureau of Vital Statistics to each report is here furnished.
