I. INTRODUCTION
The following list of deaths was compiled from the files
of territorial newspapers belonging to the Kansas Historical Society. The year in which the newspaper was
published is given only when it differs from the year in
which the death occurred. In cases where the same notice
appeared in two or more newspapers, the entry from the local
newspaper was used if it gave complete information. Inasmuch
as the file of some newspapers is only a scattering of
issues, and as many deaths were never recorded in any
newspaper, this list is not complete. There are, of course,
many other sources for ascertaining the death dates of
persons who lived in Kansas territory. Among them are the
mortality schedules from the United States census for 1860,
cemetery inscriptions, church and family records, and
printed histories.
