Era causes of death reflect medical knowledge
Richard Herberg”'s death certificate lists his cause of death as “dentition.” By the time that he died in April 1916, dentition was rarely recorded as a cause of death. It was an old-fashioned medical term and one that had been called into question as a “real” disease. That was not always the case.
A baby boy, known only as C. M. Miller, was thought to have died from “teething and flow” in 1864. “Teething” as a cause of death had a long, though not, as it turns out, very accurate history. Hippocrates referred to it in his writings almost 2,500 years ago and the medical community didn”'t change its thinking on the subject until some time in the late 1870s or early 1880s. Cemetery records list teething or dentition as a cause of death several times in the 1860s and early 1870s but only three times after 1885.
