    3. While at my local F.C., I found this entry in Miscellaneous Mortician's Records of Ocean County, NJ. I am not sure which of the Samuel Headleys this is. Is anyone on this list researching Headley from Tuckerton/Toms River in Ocean County? >From the Mortician's book of accounts: July 7th, 1891 Samuel Headley # Funeral Expenses for Wife $50.00 # Embalming $ 5.00 # 4 Carriages $10.00 # Single Hearse & Carriage $ 2.00 # Opening & Closing of ground $ 2.50 # Gloves for Pall Bearers $ .50 ―------- $70.00 This must have been an elaborate funeral to have cost $70 in 1891!
