Hi I will try to get the information tomorrow or Wednesday. You didn't open a can of worms. Hennessey's and one other home here do not reveal the financial information. I don't know the reason. On the very old records, 'waaaaay back when', part of the fees included hay for the horses who pulled the hearse. So, that's fun, especially when you know that the cemetery is not 'that' far from downtown -- puts things into a different perspective. Why they did not reveal the cause of death - who knows? You can get that from the death certificates -- which can be ordered at $13 each. However, about all they will add will be cause of death, maybe the physicians name etc. I'll be in touch.

Death Certificates from the middle of 1907 to the middle of 1952 have been filmed by the LDS library in Salt Lake City and are available on microfilm at the Family History Center near you, for a lot less than the $13 the state charges.
