The vital events that were been recorded by the town offices on the behalf of the state were inclusive of births, deaths and marriages. Their intentions were to keep and maintain records for their own towns. Then after a long time, the statewide registration of the vital events was mandated through a legislation in 1899 which made it mandatory for every citizen of the state to get their vital events registered with their town offices firstly and then getting them registered with the state office named State of Florida Dept. of Health.
