CULP. Joshua died in 1910. Was there a funeral home with this name at that time? If so, does it still exist? If not, did another funeral home take its place? If there is no funeral home with Culp in its name is there a way to identify who undertaker Culp worked for? I hope to request his funeral records as his death certificate really lacks information. Joshua was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery. When I looked at the Elkhart County Genweb page it listed two locations for Oak Ridge - one in Goshen and one in Bristol - or is this the same cemetery listed for both towns? Thanks in advance for any help, Bobbi in Sparta, MI ______________________________X-Message: #2 Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 01:07:07 EDT From: Jblair100@aol.com To: INELKHAR-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: Subject: Re: [INELKHAR] Culp Funeral Home, HARDEN/HARDIN/HARDING Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Bobbi, There is a funeral home named Yoder-Culp Funeral Home: 1911 S. Main St. Goshen, IN 46526 (219) 533-3153 The names Yoder and Culp have been around in Goshen for a long time. My mom and dad went to school with dozens of them. It is likely that they were around in 1910. I'm afraid I don't know much about the cemeteries, but I would assume that if he died in Goshen, then he was probably buried there too. My grandfather still lives in Goshen and this funeral home has been used by all of my late relatives from Goshen. My grandfather used to own his own business carving gravestones, which was handed down from his father. Just an interesting tid-bit. Good luck with your search. I bet if you called them, they could tell you how to get the records you're looking for.
