Transylvania County, North Carolina Death
Certificates
The images and information below comes from
the official photocopy of volume 2 located in
the Transylvania County, North Carolina
Registrar of Deeds Office. Sometime after
1998, the original books were improperly stored
in a known leaking court house basement.
As a result, they have been water damaged and
are no longer available. This is
unfortunate since page 60 was copied twice
instead of page 61.
Some names in the index have been somewhat
standardized to facilitate searching using the
"find" tool in an Internet browser. This
is not perfect. If the find tool does not
find a specific name, users may locate it by
reading through the entire index. Click
the hyperlink on the page number to see an
image of the actual document and original
spellings.
Volume 2 is organized by township with the
following local registrars:
- Brevard
Township: G. C. Kilpatrick with the
last two by E. F. Gillespie.
Legibility is fair.
- About midway through, the registrar's
signature changes to the initials GCK with
a more formal and less legible handwriting
style.
- Boyd Township: A.
E. Lyday. Writing
fair.
- A. E. Lyday was a physician, and the
medical information tends to be more
complete.
- Catheys Creek
Township: C. R. Sharp. Writing
fair.
- Dunns Rock
Township: F. L. Wilson.
Writing fair.
- Eastatoe
Township: Walter Whitmire.
Writing poor to fair.
- Gloucester
Township: Vance Galloway.
Writing good.
- Hogback
Township: Ward Breedlove.

- Little River
Township: F. P. Shuford.
