Historian Says South Dakota Death Records Under Count
Curtis contends registration of deaths in South Dakota is incomplete and law observance varies in small towns. He notes federal census bureau data show over 90 percent of deaths captured, with a lower reported death rate due to population estimates and inclusion of Indian populations. He cites Wisconsin and other western states as establishing registration and notes overall lower mortality in a newly settled, vigorous population.
