20 Dec. 1915 - 10 Jan. 1917.
Scope and Contents
The volumes provide data on the funerals handled by the home. Data such as: name, address, occupation, age at death, cause of death, parents' names and birthplaces, place of internment and details of burial arrangement are included.
The volumes are arranged in chronological order, with some confusion at volumes [6], [6a] & [7]. An index, “Index to Spring Funeral Home Records, 1906-1941” was created by Russell & Betty Moore in 1984, and provides alphabetical access to the fifteen volumes originally received. No alphabetical indexing is yet available for four additional volumes received in 2001. Each volume has a handwritten index for that volume at the front. No digitally accessible index is currently available.
