    1. [ALCHEROK] Funeral Home Serving the Tecumseh Community in Cherokee County, Circa 1895

    3. Dear List Members, I've been trying for some months to find more information about a great-grandfather, a miner, who was killed in Cherokee County or maybe just across the state line in Etna, GA, around 1896. He lived with his wife and two children in the town of Tecumseh, now defunct. Although I suspect that he's buried in the Salem Baptist Church cemetery, where his father-in-law William Niblet is buried, no headstone exists, so I can't prove anything. Is anyone aware of which funeral homes existed in the area at that time which may have conducted the burial arrangements? Again, this would have been in the mid-to-late 1890's in eastern Cherokee County only about a mile from the GA line. The nearest sizeable town would be Cedartown, GA. Since the burial records for Salem Baptist Church apparently no longer exist, I'm hoping that maybe some funeral home might have records. Thanks. Sincerely, --Mark in Mobile, AL
