The population in 1894 was 192, of this number 132
were adults, and 60 children.
There were 5 births, equal to a birth.rate of 26.0 per
1,000, and 9 deaths, equal to a death.rate of 46.8 per 1,000.
As this death.rate is a very high one, and to show that the deaths (with the exception of one) were not of a preventable character, I have tabulated the diseases:—
| Age. | Disease. | |
|---|---|---|
| Deaths of Young Children | M., 10 days. | Premature birth. |
| M., 2 years. | Scarlet fever. | |
| F., 7 years. | Tuberculosis. | |
| Deaths of Adults at Middle age | F., 44 years. | Phthisis. |
| M., 44 years. | Do. | |
| M., 56 years. | Do. | |
| Senile Deaths | M., 68 years. | Bronchitis. |
| F., 76 years. | Apoplexy. | |
| M., 86 years. | Old age. | |
