Old Certificates of Death

Ever wondered what an old death notice looked like?

Local Certificates of Death were issued by the California State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics from 1905 to 1933.

A few of the deaths recorded here occurred as early as 1875, with this paperwork prepared at the time of removal from the Old Los Gatos Cemetery on Cemetery Lane to the New Los Gatos Cemetery on Los Gatos-Almaden Road in the early years of the 20th century.
