Account book (January 1917 - December 1919) of funerals and related expenses.

Accounts (beginning on page 100) appear chronologically under the name of the person or party responsible for payment. Account notations, with amounts and dates paid, include such items as coffins, embalming, hearse rentals, cemetery and church fees. A roughly alphabetical index (of those paying for the funerals) includes person's address, name of deceased (except if an infant), and often relationship to the person paying, with place of burial (town, or cemetery) given. The front of the volume documents rentals of hearses and cars to Swinton and Dandridge, Eugene Gadsen, Mickey Brothers, J.A. Robinson and Sons, N.C. Boags, R.M. Snype and others. Also included are notations of rent paid by Dr. M.M. Edwards for 88 Calhoun Street and income tax return calculations for 1917. Of note is a physical description of an unknown man, injured near Beaufort, South Carolina found on page 153. 488 pages.
