| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | McGorray Brothers Funeral Home Records
| | | | Creator: | McGorray Brothers Funeral Home | | | | Dates: | 1876-1935 | | | | Abstract: | The McGorray Brothers Funeral Home was founded by Mark McGorray in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1873, as the McGorray Funeral Home. The name was changed to McGorray Brothers Funeral Home after the death of Mark McGorray in 1891, when two of his sons, James W. McGorray and Joseph McGorray, took over the business. Mark McGorray was an Irish immigrant, coming to the United States in 1844. He and his family settled in Cleveland in 1864. McGorray Brothers Funeral Home became a prominent Irish Catholic funeral home, and was located first on the west side of Cleveland, and by 1922, in Lakewood, a suburb of Cleveland. James W. McGorray II took over the business ca. 1919. His son, James W. McGorray III, assumed leadership of the business on the death of his father in 1968. He served as President until his death in 1994, when he was succeeded by his daughter and current president, Mary Susan McGorray. The collection consists of funeral account ledgers, funeral record books, inventory records, carriage and coach ledgers, correspondence, death certificates, burial permits, and other receipts. This collection provides the genealogical researcher with much information, particularly those interested in Irish Catholic family history of Cleveland, Ohio. The funeral account ledgers provide the name of the deceased, name the account is being billed to, date of death, and date and location of burial. The majority of these ledgers contain an alphabetized index of names. The funeral record books include the name of the deceased, date of death, age, sex, cause of death, residence of the deceased, place of burial, name the account is being billed to (often next of kin), that person's address, and the attending physician and his address. Also contained in these volumes are receipts, burial permits, and death certificates for individuals. The collection also contains business records, including carriage, coach, and inventory volumes, detailing the funeral home business of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. click here to view the searchable index to the burial records contained in this collection | | | | Call #: | MS 4805 | | | | Extent: | 5.40 linear feet (14 containers) | | | | Subjects: | McGorray, Mark, 1829-1891. | McGorray, James W., d. 1919. | McGorray, Joseph, d. 1910. | McGorray, James W.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | University Circle United Methodist Church Records
| | | | Creator: | University Circle United Methodist Church | | | | Dates: | 1839-2010 | | | | Abstract: | The University Circle United Methodist Church, formerly known as Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Church, is descended from the earliest Methodist societies in Cleveland, Ohio, having been formed in 1919 from 2 historic congregations: Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church and Epworth Memorial Church. For over 60 years the congregation has occupied a landmark building in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood, nicknamed the "Holy Oil Can" because of its tall copper spire. The Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church began with Methodist classes at Doan's Corners in 1831. A church building, known as Doan Street Methodist Episcopal Church, was constructed in 1837 on Doan (East 105th) Street. A second building was built in 1870 and razed in 1885. In 1887 a new building went up on Euclid Avenue at Oakdale (East 93rd), and the church became known as Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1919-1920, the Euclid Avenue and Epworth Memorial congregations merged, creating the Epworth-Euclid Methodist Church at East 107th Street and Chester Avenue. In 2010, First United Methodist Church and Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Church merged to become University Circle United Methodist Church. The collection consists of advertisements, agreements, annual reports, appraisals, attendance records, audits, budgets, bulletins, bylaws, certificates, charters, church histories, committee records, constitutions, contracts, correspondence, deeds, drawings, estates and bequests, financial records and statements, floor plans, guest books, handbooks, inventories, ledgers, legal records, magazine articles, manuals, membership records, memoranda, minutes, newsletters, newspaper articles and clippings, notes, orders of worship/service, pamphlets, programs, publicity records, recipe books, reports, rosters, scrapbooks, sermons, Sunday School records, and wills. | | | | Call #: | MS 5172 | | | | Extent: | 51.65 linear feet (58 containers, 3 oversize folders and 114 volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Church buildings -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Church records and registers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy. | Epworth League (U.S.) | Epworth Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | Epworth-Euclid Methodist Episcopal Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | First Methodist Episcopal Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | Methodist Episcopal Church -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Methodists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Registers of births, etc. -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | University Circle United Methodist Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | Women in church work -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Religion | Genealogy
