What this document records
The printed header verbatim
"Return of Deaths in the Township of Hope County of Warren State of New Jersey, from the 1 day of May 1868 to the 1 day of May 1869." Printed page 335.
The cooper entry verbatim
Row 9 · date July 20th (no year written in the cell) · Elsy Cooper · sex ditto · married or single ditto · age 40 · occupation blank · place of death ditto · place of birth ditto · names of parents Robert & Sarah Cooper · cause Lung Desese · time of making record ditto.
How the dittos resolve
Sex — the column reads Male on row 5 (Martin Swayze Jr) and is dittoed through rows 6, 7, 8 and 9, so the Elsy Cooper cell carries Male. Place of death — Hope on row 3, dittoed down. Place of birth — Warren County on row 3, dittoed down (row 8 writes Warren County again). Married or single — the chain runs up to row 4, Married (Ann Swayze), with rows 5-8 dittoed; the row-9 mark is a single ditto sitting where rows 5-8 carry two, so this cell is recorded as ditto [?], not resolved.
The year
The date cell gives July 20th and no year. Rows 7 and 8 write 69; row 6 writes 68. The return itself covers 1 May 1868 – 1 May 1869. The page does not state the year of this death.
