Where I'm At.

 I took the Christmas break off, as we had a full house and my study became a bedroom.

So what have I been doing with this study?

* Obtained transcripts of all the deaths between 1852 and 1952.

* Increased the size of the data-base to include not just names, dates of death etc., but who the doctor was, what they died from etc.

* Looked at the statistics relating to the number of males to females and the age range.

* Contacted several archives or libraries regarding what their collections hold and have worked-out a research plan, to gather more information.

What will I do with it all?  Good question and one I'm still working out. It is becoming so much more than just the people buried there. It is their interactions with the wider community, the inter-connections between various families that I'm discovering. All are fascinating.

So, some statistics.

Number buried between 1852 -1952.   38

Number of Females  20

Number of Males 18

Oldest        98yrs, female.

Youngest  2minuets, female.

Biggest age group 71 - 80, 7 males

Those with headstones  26

The causes of death are interesting and I was surprised to see that there were no farm related accidents, as cause of death.
