Circa 1880 Atlas of Warrick County, Indiana
The content comes from a book my mother has. It was probably made about
1880 based on some of my family history. The front pages were missing,
so I am not really sure of the name. Each page was scanned and the
pictures were as clear as I could get them. Since a few pages are not as
clear, I have made duplicate pages of them to try and get a better
picture. It is not indexed. The price is $5.00 with shipping and
handling included. The names of the Townships included are: Anderson,
Boon, Campbell, Lane, Greer, Ohio, Owen, Pigeon, and Skelton.
This is the atlas that May sent for us to place online.

November 1900 - December 1906
January 1907 - February 1914
February 1914 - July 1919
Shafer Brothers Funeral Home records are contained in nine books that cover the years January 1885 through July
1919. Each book has been scanned front to back and placed on it's own CD.
The first eight books are recorded in a funeral home ledger. The ninth book is recorded in a type of business
ledger. Some of the books contain inserts, paper that was glued into the original book, to lengthen the book.
There is an original index in the front of each book. There are times when a page is missing and there are times
when the funeral sequence for each year has been numbered incorrectly. The books are very old and in fragile
condition. It took a great deal of time to scan each book carefully and not damage the original record.
Therefore, some of the pages are not as straight as I would have preferred, but the information is clearly
visible. These compilations of Shafer Funeral Home books are exact replicas of the original books.
Also available on CD:

type of coffin, and price. The second page of the record has a break down of the costs and special notes in the
remarks column. The compilation includes indexes to each register.
1858 Evansville City Directory $10.00
A valuable resource for those researching Evansville, Vanderburgh Co., IN before the Civil War.
This directory contains a short history of the city, it's location, improvements, growth, business and
commercial position. I found this history to be a good insight into the Evansville of this era. Churches,
libraries, officers of fraternal organizations, city and county officials are listed. The last 79 pages contain
business advertisements. Some pages contain full page ads, however many of them contain two to three business
advertisements; all of these add a great deal of information about the availability of goods and services to the
residents of this growing city.
