What Is in This Collection?
The collection consists of an index and images to a single register of births and deaths from the cities of Eureka, (Juab County) and Payson, (Utah County). The book was donated by a member of the LDS Church and likely originated from a local government entity. Most of the pages in the register are blank so the total number of names is minimal.
