DEATH RECORDS…SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?
WE WENT TO A CEMETERY YESTERDAY, AND THERE WAS A GRAVE, THAT CAUGHT MY INTEREST, I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE, GONE TO THE CITY RECORD AND I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING, ON THESE TWO LITTLE KIDS. iF ANYONE HAS A FREE SITE OR SOME THING THEY KNOW OF CAN YOU PLZ LET ME KNOW. HERE IS THE INFORMATION ON THE KIDS. I DO NOT KNOW THE FAMILY OR ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT WHAT IS ONE THIER GRAVE…

THE NAME: Charlotte E. Davis
Birth: 9-14-1872
Death 3-16-1873

HER SISTER
NAME: unknown
birth 9-3-77
Death: 3-16-78

BOTH BURIED AT TOQUERVILLE UTAH…

THEY WERE BOTH 6 MONTHS OLD, BOTH DIED THE SAME DAY, AND THEY WERE 5 YEARS APART IN AGE, I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE POOR LITTLE GIRLS,

i HAVE LOOKED ON FINDAGRAVE, AND IT LISTS THE YEAR BORN AND DIED, BUT THE CAUSE OF DEATH IS BLANK

Your best bet may be to find the archives of the local newspaper for Toquerville in 1873. If the paper doesn’t mention the deaths of these specific children, it may describe an epidemic that was in progress in the area at the time.
