Free Genealogy Death Record on the Coffin Plate of Bertha Bownes 1895 ~ 1905
Our
Bertha
Born June 20 1895
Died Jan 21 1905
This plate for Bertha Bownes was found in meriden, Connecticut United States.
The Plaque belonged to a 3 year old girl who died of Yellow Fever in 1905 in Meriden Connecticut. Her parents shortly after moved back to Heidelberg Germany where they where from, The father was originally from Ireland. They took with them Bertha's remains and had her reburied in Heidelberg. Submited by James. Thanks James.
NOTE: I do not think this is a coffin plate. It is probably off a grave marker.

Coffin plates often contain birth and death dates, and sometimes the place of birth or the occupation of a deceased person.
While not technically a true vital record, coffin plates can be seen as a substitute for vital records or at the least a good clue. In the case of people who died before civil registration it might be one of the few written records genealogists will find in their hunt for that brick wall ancestor!
If you want to know more about what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree.
Remember when searching for Coffin Plates on the net they are sometimes referred to as Coffin Plaques, Casket plates or Casket Plaques.
