FIBALTFI NOTES
More than 110 births and 60
deaths were recorded in Wilkin
son County in 1951, according to
Mary Will Billue, Public Health
Nurse. Copies of these records
are kept on file and, in addition,
in Atlanta.
Vital Statistics is the phase of
health department work which
is concerned with the drama of
life - and of death. Your public
health department keeps a record
of every birth, death and still
birth that occurs in this county,
virtually doing bookkeeping on
life. When a child is born a cer
tificate is filled out and signed
by one ot 3he parents. This cer
tificate is turned over to the reg
istrar of the county in which the
child was born. She signs it,
dates it and sends it to the Vital
Statistics Division, Georgia Dep
artment of Public Health. A pho
tostat is made of the certificate
and mailed to George Henry Car
swell. Ordinary, who is custodian
of vital statistics of this county.
The original copy is stored in a
fireproof vault in Atlanta. The
parent may obtain a certificate
of registration from the custo
dian. This record should be pre
served by the parents so that the
child may use it to enter school,
obtain a job; enter the armed for
ces, and receive benefits from
the Veterans Administration or
Social Security Board.
The public health personnel is
interested in all facts concerning
the death of one of our citizens.
How old was the person, when
and where did death occur? What
were the factors or disease that
caused this death? This informa
tion, though confidential, when
gathered together gives your
health department a graphic pic
ture of the state of health in this
