Johann Funeral Home Records

Compiled by Virginia L. Aldridge

I hope you enjoy the 1896 and 1901 Johann Funeral Home Records.

For many years we have wished to have access to the Johann Funeral Home Records. Unfortunately, they have not been available to us. We were lucky to find two years of the records in the vertical files at Willard Library. They were indexed, copied, scanned and digitally enhanced, to improve readability. I did not try to clean up ink blots or damaged areas on the pages. I was concerned some bit of data might be lost.

I would like to thank Willard Library for their efforts to preserve and provide records to the genealogical community.

Each year has its own set of instructions. If you look at the instructions first for each year, it will make it easier to find the name you seek.

The index is my best interpretation of the handwritten names on the pages. If a name looks similar to what you seek, check it out, it may turn out to be the name for which you search.

These ledgers have a right and left side. The information goes across both pages. There are numbers down the left hand side of the first page and the right hand side of the second page. There is a page 1a and a page 1b. Page 1a is the left side of the ledger, page 1b is the right side of the ledger.

Marsha's note: I will not be placing "Side B" images on the web as it gives no information on the person, just the amount due to the funeral home. If you would like to have a copy of it, just let me know.
