Death records began in a few Indiana cities as early as the 1870s, but the first law requiring county registration of death was passed in 1882. In 1900, all deaths were to be registered with the state. Compliance with the law varied until 1920 and deaths that occurred were now always recorded. To obtain a copy of the death record, contact the [http://www.in.gov/isdh/20422.htm county health department] where the death took place, or from the Indiana State Board of Health. | Death records began in a few Indiana cities as early as the 1870s, but the first law requiring county registration of death was passed in 1882.
