Sec. 381. Death certificates.
Whenever any person shall die within the city limits, it shall
be the duty of the physician who attended such person during his
or her last sickness, or of the Coroner, when the case comes under
his notice, to furnish, within twenty-four hours after the
same comes to the knowledge of said physicians or Coroner, a
certificate to the Board of Health, setting forth so far as can be
ascertained the name, age, color, residence, place of birth, occupation
and condition—whether married or single—of the person
deceased; also the date and cause of death. Any physician or
Coroner who shall neglect or refuse to make the reports herein
required, shall be fined not less than $2 nor more than $10 for
each offense.
