1	6	Mims, Jane Malinda	1 year	Female	White		Diarrhea Family members, census takers, and even medical professionals often gave this as a cause of death for any disease where the deceased had suffered from a prolonged intestinal complaint and a more specific diagnosis could not be made.

1	20	King, Fannie Ann	1 month	Female	White		Not known
1	21	Kennedy, Reuben	14 years	Male	White		Diarrhea Family members, census takers, and even medical professionals often gave this as a cause of death for any disease where the deceased had suffered from a prolonged intestinal complaint and a more specific diagnosis could not be made.
1	22	McArthur, Peter	75 years	Male	White		Dropsy A general term meaning the accumulation of fluid in some part of the body. A diagnosis of “dropsy” often meant the condition was prevalent throughout the body, while a case in which the accumulation of fluid was more localized might receive a more specific diagnosis. Examples include dropsy of the belly (ascites), the brain (hydrocephalus), the chest (hydrothorax), or the skin (anasarca) (Hooper, Lexicon Medicum, 1860).
1	23	Williams, Louisa, M.	3 months	Female	White		Not known
1	24	Rea, Martha	1 month	Female	White		Hives Although hives are now generally defined as a rash of itchy red welts on the skin, in the 1800s the term was synonymous with cynanche trachealis, or the croup. The use of the term “hives” in this case is a corruption of the word “heaves,” which describes the patient’s spasmodic convulsions as they attempted to breathe (Mortality Statistics of the Seventh Census of the United States, 1855).
1	25	Emmett, David W.	58 years	Male	White		Tumor [?]
1	26	Dixon, Caroline	11 years	Female	White		Typhoid fever
1	27	Kelly, James	18 years	Male	White		Typhoid fever
1	28	Dykes, Tenfry	4 years	Female	White		Flux Another name for dysentery. Intestinal inflammation causing the patient to pass stools with blood was often diagnosed as “bloody flux” (Hooper, Lexicon Medicum, 1860).
1	29	Smith, Eliza	27 years	Female	White		Childbed
1	30	Patterson, Robert T.	1 year	Male	White		Flux Another name for dysentery. Intestinal inflammation causing the patient to pass stools with blood was often diagnosed as “bloody flux” (Hooper, Lexicon Medicum, 1860).
