On This Date in Minnesota History: January 13

January 13, 1920 – St. Paul is the healthiest city in the United States according to figures issued by the federal government.

These figures show St. Paul has the lowest death rate of 50 representative cities throughout the country.

The death rate per thousand inhabitants in 1919 was 10.6, compared with an average rate of 14.3 for 50 cities. Omaha is next and Minneapolis third.

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching  genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including:
census records,  birth records,  death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records.  I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MHS records.  Both short searches and family history reports.
