Cabell County Deaths
Early Cabell County Deaths
A law requiring the systematic statewide recording of births and deaths was passed by the VA General Assembly on April 11, 1853. Every commissioner of revenue registered births and deaths in his district annually and forwarded the information to the clerk of court of that county, who then supplied the information to the state Auditor of Public Accounts. This law continued in effect until 1896. The Auditor turned the lists over to the Bureau of Vital Statistics in 1918 and the registers were later transferred to the state archives of VA , Library of Virginia. There is no longer an original source (register) for Cabell County other than microfilm of very poor quality. We have went through any and all copies or transcriptions of these records available to us in the compilation of this material.
