Hello All! I meant to reply to the entire list to be sure to include Joanne. I grew up in the Berkshires and as a teenager was an avid reader of the obituaries (still am today). There IS a funeral home in Pittsfield named the Dwyer Funeral Home. Perhaps this Robert E. Dwyer took over the business of Newton & Barnfeather and changed the name. Joanne, send me a direct e-mail at bunny.best@verizon.net and I will have my mother look up the phone number for you. Sincerely, Bunny Best Researching the surnames: Best, Whitaker, Wheeler, Langenback, Harrington, Battcock, Yeo, McLaughlin, Chassot von Florencourt -----Original Message----- From: MARGAREt DAVIS [mailto:SAGEMOM@webtv.net] Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 5:55 PM To: MABERKSH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Funeral Home Hello Joanne, I have a 1973 Pittsfield telephone book which lists the following: Newton & Barnfeather Funeral Home, Inc Raymond S. Webster Robert E. Dwyer 17 E. Housatonic Pittsfield ph. 422-3355 Of course, I have no idea they are still in business or not but it's worth a try.
