Collection Number: A&M 3449
The West Virginia Department of Health Vital Statistics microfilm (10 reels, labeled 21-25 and 35-39) contains the index for deaths in West Virginia for the years 1917 to 1983. The indexes are organized alphabetically by year, and include name, date of death, county, volume number, and certificate number for each decedent. Starting in 1945, a cause of death code is listed for each decedent. Social Security numbers were added to each record beginning with the 1979 index. The microfilm collection also contains obituaries for Roane County circa 1973 to 1987. (The "gaps" in the sequence of reel numbers reflects the original numbering system as we inherited it.).
