Gillespie County 1880 Census Mortality Schedule This project is an attempt to identify all deceased people who died between 1 Jun 1879 and 31 May 1880 in Gillespie County and who are listed on the Census Mortality Schedule. Surnames are not readible, so other information such as age, birth place, sex, race and cause of death are used to identify the deceased persons of the county during this time period.
