Shafer Brothers Funeral Home Records Boonville, Indiana
The Shafer Brothers Funeral Home records are contained in nine books that span
from January 1885 through July 1919. Each book has been scanned front to
back and placed in its own file.
The first eight books are recorded in
a funeral home ledger. The ninth book is recorded in a type of business
ledger. Some of the books contain inserts, paper that was glued into the
original book, to lengthen the book. An original index is in the front of each
book. In some cases a page may be missing, in others the funeral sequence
for each year has been numbered incorrectly. The books are very old and in
fragile condition. Scanning each book carefully, so as not to damage the
original record, took a great deal of time. Therefore, some of the pages are
not as straight as I would have preferred, but the information is clearly
visible. These, compilations of Shafer Brothers Funeral Home, books are exact
replicas of the original books.
