Births Deaths Marriages and Divorces in Teton County
Teton county records show 105 births 42 deaths 63 marriages and four divorces in the last year with most data for 1962 and some for late 1961. Births fell from 135 1961 deaths from 57 and divorces from eight while marriages rose to 63 from 58. Thirty percent of births were boys and sixty were girls with two year totals 120 of each sex. The decline partly reflects families leaving after missile construction and possibly a US birth-rate dip. The list includes dozens of name entries for newborns with parent names and county families.
