Some areas of the country have funeral home records available which contain a great deal of useful information. I don't know if there are records available for Erath Co--or even which Funeral Home was doing burials before 1900. Does anyone out there know? Is the funeral home still in business? Is there a current address? I could also use this information for my own research. My list of surnames that are connected with Erath/Comanche/Brown counties are: Duke, Foster, Jackson, Keith, Essary, Glasscock, Cargile, Carruthers Vynette in Arizona ---------- > From: DebbyKay <debbykay@hotmail.com> > To: TXERATH-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ERATH] Cook / Pettiet > Date: Monday, October 18, 1999 9:03 PM > > Does anyone know who and if there is any way to obtain doctor records for > the period of 1881 - 1882?
