Shirley, Perhaps I can help you with some death info if you care to contact me off line. I have in a database the death dates & burial places for people who died in Elyria and the Infirmary for the years 1908 up thru the 1990's. Often the birth date & place are included in these files as well. Thanks for letting this list know about those old funeral home records. Thought of your research as we drove by the current funeral home on 2nd street just yesterday. Nancy M.
