The first section is an index of wills and estate administrations from the Orphan's Court for the first 50 years of the county court records. Entries give the person's name, will book volume and page number, and orphan's court volume and page number. The second section is a register of deaths from 1881 to 1892. These records include former slaves who, since they were the county's majority, also make up the majority of deaths. Information covers the name of the deceased, cause of death, race, birth place, date of death and age. The final section contains countywide cemetery records of Sumter County residents born before 1865. These records are organized by specific cemeteries, with street directions to each. The person's gravestone inscription is listed after each name.
