IN DEATH LIST OF 48 ONLY FOUR PERSONS WERE UNDER AGED OF 50
Mrs. Annie E. Whitford Oldest Person to Pass -- 38 of the 48 Deaths Were Between 60 and 85 Years
In presenting the vital statistics of the town and village of Camden for the past year, it may be interesting to note that 1935 had a total death list of 48 against 41 in 1934. Births numbered 29 in 1935 while the total of 1934 was 43. The above figures as recorded in the town clerk's records indicate (if that were the only factor to consider) that our population has dwindled by 19. However, against the loss are several Camden babies who were born in city hospitals and therefore not recorded in our town records.
Of the deaths in 1935, two were residents over 90 years. Mrs. Annie E. Whitford (nearly 94) of this village was the oldest person to pass away, while Simon A. Leonard, just beyond the 90 mark, was the next oldest. Few deaths of persons below middle age and the fact that no children died are outstanding points of the year's statistics.
The following compilation of deaths may be interesting: Deaths at
90 years or over -- 2
85 or over -- 5
80 or over -- 7
75 or over -- 7
70 or over -- 7
65 or over -- 7
60 or over -- 5
55 or over -- 3
50 or over -- 1
Under 50 -- 4
