My review
Stumbled upon this book in the Texana/Genealogy stacks. Talk about some lurid reading - just little one-sentence lines: name, age, gender, cause of death, murderer/site of accident/random extra info.
It's so weird and archaic and tragic and I just can't stop reading it when I'm supposed to be doing inventory of the genealogy collection. Unfortunately, this picture is not from the book, it is a silly bit of early trick photography from the Flickr Commons.

The weird thing is there were a lot of entries in Coroner's Reports noting the cause of death as "suicide by slitting the throat." I find that very strange and hard to believe. What a way to go - I wonder if it was really gangsters and the coroner's office was covering for them?
I think I've been watching too many cop shows.
Sorry the posts have been so gory lately, I'll have to lighten it up now!
