Ceres Names, Dates, and Places
The following documents were found in box of papers handed down through the Evans/Evens family and are currently in the possesion of my brother.   I have transcribed them as best I could in hopes that they would help someone find that missing date, name or place.   I appologize in advance for any errors or typos.  The writing was often faded and the handwriting was not easy to decipher.  I am not sure of the source of these papers, though the death and birth records look semi-official. My best guess is that they were some sort of church record.

Deaths

What follows was transcribed from what appears to be some sort of semi-official journal or record.  Perhaps a church record.  It consists of three pages that seem to have been bound in a book.  The pages are ruled as one would find in a cash journal.   The pages are 14" tall by 6" wide.   Judging by the hand writing, I believe entries were made by two individuals over time.  One individual capitalized the letter "D" in "Died", the other didn't.  The entries seem to have been entered contemporaneously.
