Partial list abstracted from newspapers

Dates may not be the exact death date. They may be dates the editor learned about the deaths by funeral or probate. Some deaths may not have occurred in Jersey County, but were reported because the individual was a former Jersey County resident. The use of the word “colored” is from the original in the newspaper. Thanks to Marty Crull for this information.
