I. INTRODUCTION
The following list of deaths was compiled from the files of territorial newspapers belonging to the Kansas Historical Society. The year in which the newspaper was published is given only when it differs from the year in which the death occurred. In cases where the same notice appeared in two or more newspapers, the entry from the local newspaper was used if it gave complete information. Inasmuch as the file of some newspapers is only a scattering of issues, and as many deaths were never recorded in any newspaper, this list is not complete. There are, of course, many other sources for ascertaining the death dates of persons who lived in Kansas territory. Among them are the mortality schedules from the United States census for 1860, cemetery inscriptions, church and family records, and printed histories.
