Deaths Database
For deaths pre-dating 1915, a date of death for your ancestor(s) must be
sought in various resources -- Bible records
and family papers,
obituaries, on tombstones, in diaries and journals such as that kept by the
Rev. Simeon Campbell,
and, occasionally, church records. Please explore these
alternate resources available on the Dillon and Marion web
sites; the database below will
contain only information transcribed
from modern death certificates for Dillon County.

South Carolina Death Indexes 1915-1960
An index to South Carolina death certificates is online at the DHEC web site!
The data from 1915 through 1949 requires the DjVu plugin to view, and since each
index page is an image file
in the DjVu format, browsing these years is a bit
slow for dial-up connections. The indexes for 1950-1960 are
in "web page" format -- much
quicker to view.
