Dominion of Canada -Deaths, Fires and Murder


A Sunday Bonus!!

I was browsing through the Dominion (of Canada) Annual Register and Review publications and for 1883 I came across a list...

Record of Accidental Deaths and Suicides for 1883

 
 
Shows the date, persons name, the city where accident occurred and cause of death. 
 
 
When I got to the end of the list... another surprise!
 
 
Record of fires in 1883
 
 



Shows date, name, place, property, amount of loss, amount paid by insurance.

If you go back the other way, there is a Journal of Remarkable Occurrences. These include murder and mayhem, as well as unusual temperatures and earthquakes.

 
Check index of names near the front or back of each publication, and further look up "deaths of criminals", etc...
Other years have Remarkable Occurrences also.

Check the Contents of each publication for what is there.
