This book contains the transcript of the deaths of Nashua, New Hampshire, for forty-nine years (1887-1935). This information was taken from the published City of Nashua, New Hampshire Annual Reports. The data was transcribed verbatim, with the exception of a few obvious errors. Entries contain: surname of the deceased, first name of the deceased, date of death, place of birth, name of father, and mother's maiden name. Nashua, New Hampshire was originally part of Massachusetts, and the first charter for the city was granted by a general assembly in Massachusetts, naming this area "Dunstable," which was subsequently incorporated into New Hampshire in 1764 and received a city charter in 1853. A brief history of Nashua precedes the records.

Original settlers in the area that would later be known as Hudson arrived around 1672; the town was formally named Hudson in 1830. The records in this text, listed alphabetically, were obtained solely from three local sources: Annual Legers of the Town Clerk, Annual Town Reports and Kimball Webster's private records. The birth records list: child's name, sex, date of birth, and, when known, child's birth position in family and the parents' names. Hudson marriage records include male and maiden female names, and bride's and groom's parents' names. Death records contain: deceased's name, and when known, the age at death, date of death, and parents' names.
