TABLE NO. 8. SHOWING STILLBIRTHS, TWIN BIRTHS, TRIPLETS AND ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS REPORTED FROM JAN. 1, 1913, TO DEC. 31, 1913. CLASSIFIED BY COUNTIES AND SEX. TABLE NO. 8.-Concluded. SHOWING STILLBIRTHS, TWIN BIRTHS, TRIPLETS AND ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS REPORTED FROM JAN. 1, 1913, TO DEC. 31, 1913, CLASSIFIED BY COUNTIES AND SEX. MARRIAGES. During the calendar year 1912, 20,125 marriages or 40,250 persons married were reported to the State Bureau of Vital Statistics. This represents an annual marriage rate of 16.9 persons married per one thousand gross estimated population. The marriage rate for each county is shown by Table No. 9. In the classification of marriages for each county by calendar years since 1905, as shown by Table No. 9, the number of marriages has increased from 16,315 in 1905 to 21,052 in 1913. Classifying the marriages reported according to the nativity of the bride and the groom, it is shown by Table No. 10, that there were 14,672 marriages where both parties were native born; 876 marriages where the groom was native and the bride foreign; 2,038 marriages where the groom was foreign and the bride native; 2,380 marriages where both parties were foreign born; and 159 marriages where the birthplace of one or both parties was unknown or not stated. During the calendar year 1913 as shown by Table No. 9, 21,052 marriages or 42,104 persons married were reported by the various local registrars throughout the state. This represents an annual marriage rate of 17.4 persons married per one thousand gross estimated population. The rate for 1913 is higher than that for any preceding year since the adoption of the uniform registration law. This we believe is partly due to increased accuracy of registration. Table No. 10, shows a classification of marriages by counties according to the nativity of the bride and groom. In this table we find that there were 15,533 marriages where both parties were native born; 842 marriages where the groom was native and the bride foreign; 1,961 marriages where the groom was foreign and the bride native; 2,598 marriages where both parties were foreign born; and 118 marriages where the birthplace of one or both parties was unknown or not stated. Tables No. 11 and 13 show the total marriages reported from each county by age groups for both brides and grooms. |
