Summary
Public Health Statistics
of West Virginia
1919~1947

A publication in PDF format

This is the oldest West Virginia vital statistics publication in the Health Statistics Center archives. It is presented for its historical record of births and deaths in West Virginia. The document states that all data prior to 1925 are to be considered incomplete. Due to the age of the document, no attempt has been made reconstruct the data base or otherwise verify the data presented. There is no publication date on the document, but it was probably issued sometime between 1948 and 1950.

On page six of the document is the following note which applies to all tables:
". . . 'Premature Birth' should read 'Malformations of Early Infancy (157-161)' as the number of deaths shown is from this cause rather than Premature Birth."
