Death Rate In Ann Arbor

DEATH RATE IN ANN ARBOR

In June, according to the recently published Michigan Bulletin of Vital Statistics, there were only six deaths in Ann Arbor, or about half the ratio of deaths to population in the state. In Ypsilanti the death rate was still less, there being only one death during the month. In the whole county of Washtenaw there were thirty-six deaths, which is still under the normal ratio, although undoubtedly made so by the small death rate in the two cities. Of those who died in the county fifteen were over sixty-five years of age and two under one year. There was one death from consumption, one from meningitis, three from cancer, four from violence and two were still births.
