Abstract
For this project I will be completing a demographic analysis of Schneider Park by using death records from both parts of Glendale cemetery (the Regular cemetery and the Potter’s Field). From the analysis of this project I am hoping to gain a better understanding of the differences in the health status as determined by either death certificates or death records of those interred at the different cemeteries. From this I have five predictions that will be tested using the two-way ANOVA and the Chi-Square analysis. These predictions include: causes of death and cemeteries are not independent from one another; a correlation between cause of death, cemeteries, and ages at death; overall older ages at death at Glendale cemetery and overall younger ages at death in the Schneider Park Potter’s Field; a similarity in overall cause of death distribution between Schneider Park Potter’s Field and the Glendale Potter’s Field; and finally, that the Glendale Regular cemetery will have higher rates of heart-related causes of deaths and Schneider Park will have a higher rate of lung-related causes of death. Testing these predictions will help develop a better understanding of the overall differences in health status of the individuals interred in each of the cemeteries.
