State requires parent reporting of births and controlled funerals
The state board of health orders that when a child is born the head of the family must report to the health officer with all required facts, replacing the former practice of reporting by physicians. The health officer will file records with the state. For deaths the undertaker reports and must obtain a certificate first. Disinterments and removals require special permits and licensed undertakers and embalmers. The new system aims at a complete, accurate statewide birth and death record.
