LAWSON/SLACK FUNERAL HOME RECORDS

Our society is indebted to the FRENCH family and to Grace COHN. When the French family took over management of LAWSON/SLACK Funeral Home, they gave us access to many of their old records. This is valuable material for researchers. Grace COHN has transferred information we are allowed to give the public onto file cards. She has nearly completed the task, and the cards are in our Funeral Home File. Handwriting all that information has taken much, much time! We hope you will come
check out this addition to our resources. When you do, please keep in mind the generosity of the French family and the diligence of Grace.
