From Ancestry.com, "Prior to January 1900 when statewide registration of deaths began in Indiana, deaths were recorded at the local level by each county's health office. The WPA began to index vital records, county-by-county, for the entire state, but the agency was abolished before the project was completed. Only sixty-seven of the ninety-two counties had their birth and death records (1882-1920) and marriages (generally 1850-1920) collected. The completed county indexes are available in print at the Indiana State Library and Allen County Public Library, among others (Indiana, Ancestry's Red Book by Carol L. Maki, edited by Alice Eichholz. (Salt Lake City, UT: Ancestry Incorporated, 1992)).This data set contains the WPA's indexes to the death records of most of the counties that they completed. "
