Clayton Co. - Register of Deaths
Book 1 - pages 100-109

Note: 1880 is the first year that the state of Iowa required deaths be reported and officially recorded.

Note!

Browse all of the records. They are NOT in chronological order by date!
The records are arranged according to when the death was reported. Many times reporting was delayed by many months.
Be very creative with surname spellings!
