Nancy, It sounds as if you know a lot about the area's history! Do you know what might have happened to the records from the Taylor Funeral Home when it was sold? I had heard that funeral homes never go out of business, really, but are just sold. Do you think that it was Sudro-Curtis that may have ended up with the records, since they were located so close to each other? Thanks.
