Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Carol E. Elofson Papers consists of papers from the years he was Cass County coroner, 1933-1939, and are mainly his coroner cases.
The General Files Series includes budget estimates for the years 1936 and 1938; correspondence between the years 1933 and 1938 (mainly letters or notices he received); clippings and an address by a former Cass County Coroner, O.J. Hanson, on the duties of the coroner; newspaper clippings and reports on the county elections 1932-1936; and a speech given by Dr. Elofson on “Why a Coroner Should be a Physician” with a few notes on another speech.
The Coroner Cases Series is the bulk of the collection, with about 260 cases. They are arranged alphabetically by surname with the date of death listed. They consist generally of the coroner’s notes, newspaper clippings, and reports of any eyewitnesses or juries involved. The cases for unidentified persons are given at the end of the alphabet. Brief reports of thirteen cases handled by acting coroner Dr. J.K. Bingham covering November 1940 to November 1941 are listed at the end of the series.
