The Coroner’s Office was established in 1788 during the Northwest Territory period and continued under Indiana’s 1816 and 1851 Constitutions. The coroner investigated deaths whose causes were unknown or resulted from violence, and determined the cause of death. Coroner inquests were published in the local newspaper. Before 1879, few coroner’s records survived. Beginning in 1879, the coroner was required to file a report with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Many of these records survive. | The Coroner’s Office was established in 1788 during the Northwest Territory period and continued under Indiana’s 1816 and 1851 Constitutions.
