I talked to the lady at Malley Yarbrough and she doesn't seem to know. Any ideas about where I can try to look? Thanks, Pat

I tried for several years to locate the records after being told that they did not exist. I located and spoke with a man in the 1980s who worked for the funeral home for a long time and retired in the late 60s to early 70s and he told me that there were ledger books that went back for decades and some came from previous funeral homes that were absorbed by Mally. He thought some of the records were from as early as 1900. He said they had the name of the deceased, Date of Death, Date of Service, amount, who was responsible for the bill and in some cases the cemetery. The sad part is, he told me that he thought the older ledger books were thrown away when they moved from their location off the square. I asked the folks at Mally Yarbrough about this and they said it was probably true because they did not have any of the older records and had inquired themselves as to what might of happened to them. I have always hoped that someone might have rescued them and they were laying around somewhere, but it doesn't seem very likely at this point. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Genbiz2849@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 5:27 AM To: TNTIPTON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Tipt'n] Malley Yarbrough Funeral Records This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
