State board to record every death and its cause
The state board of health will begin keeping a record of every death and its cause in the new year, increasing work in that office. Reports note local rail service expansion, waterworks upgrades in Henry and other towns, and a rising push for telephone lines linking Castleton to Bradford and beyond. The era’s health concerns include smallpox, while various communities invest in public works and utilities.
