There were a lot of generalizations in the last post. I thought I'd get some data and include some qualitative analysis. This is from today's Plain Dealer. It skews older than it seemed to me yesterday. No kids.
Age of death / number of people
0-20s / 0
30s / 4
40s / 1
50s / 5
60s / 10
70s / 10
80s / 15
90s / 10
unlisted / 15
total / 70
unlisted age breakdown by my subjective impression:
young / 1
middle aged / 4
old / 9
?? / 1
youngest: 35
oldest: 97
number of obits with pictures: 38
