Enumerators remarks: I found the colored people not well posted as to the real cause of death in their family in many instances, especially at a distance from Danville and Montgomery. I find they have physicians. I also find among that class a mat indefinite idea as to age and time of death. Information gathered is in the main correct as to name, age, color, sex, place of birth, month of death, occupation and cause of death.

Remarks by Enumerator:
This Enumeration shows very few deaths over 2O. in most cases I do think death was on account of exposure to Cold and want of proper cure and medical aid. this is general no comparison with other years an exceedingly healthy year, for instance at the grave yard for Danville Precinct, Since the epidemic of 1867 there has been but 2 adults buried there.
