| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 4 | Title: | Trinity United Church of Christ Records
| | | | Creator: | Trinity United Church of Christ | | | | Dates: | 1911-2008 | | | | Abstract: | Trinity Evangelical Church was established on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio, in 1911 after the Home Mission Board of the Ohio District of the Evangelical Church felt compelled to institute an English-speaking congregation because the children of German immigrants no longer understood German and disassociated themselves from German-speaking churches. Located at West 25th Street and Scranton Avenue, the church and its membership expanded rapidly in the decades that followed. The church joined the newly formed Church of Christ in 1963, and changed its name to Trinity United Church of Christ. Construction of a freeway physically divided the neighborhood in the 1960s, and membership numbers never recovered. The church closed in 2008 and its members joined nearby parishes within the United Church of Christ. The collection consists of annual reports, articles of incorporation, baptism records, budgets, building plans, bulletins, certificates, confirmation class lists, committee records, constitutions, contracts, correspondence, deeds, financial records and ledgers, flyers, handouts, historical summaries, marriage records, membership lists, memorials, minutes of meetings, newsletters, newspaper articles and clippings, programs, reports, scrapbooks, Sunday school records, and youth activities and permission slips. | | | | Call #: | MS 5235 | | | | Extent: | 7.80 linear feet (9 containers and 6 volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Church records and registers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Congregational churches -- Ohio -- Cleveland | German Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Church history. | German Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Marriage records -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Registers of births, etc. -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Trinity United Church of Christ (Cleveland, Ohio)

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 7 | Title: | Saxton Funeral Home Records
| | | | Creator: | Saxton Funeral Home | | | | Dates: | 1882-1997 | | | | Abstract: | Saxton Funeral Home was established as E.H. Saxton in 1872. Located on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio, it occupied various addresses on Pearl Street and Detroit Avenue, eventually merging with the Daniels-Parker Funeral Home and Klanke Funeral Parlors, Inc. In the spring of 1997, the Saxton-Parker-Daniels Funeral Home became part of Busch Funeral and Crematory Services. The clientele of the Saxton Funeral Home reflected the demographics of the west side of Cleveland and suburban Lakewood. The British Isles, Scandinavia, and Germany were frequently listed as birthplaces of the deceased. As the population changed throughout the 1980s, the deceased in most foreign-born funerals were described as having been born in Asia or the Middle East. Nevertheless, the majority of native-born clientele served by the funeral home were white Protestants. The collection consists of affidavits, benefit applications, certificates, correspondence, court documents, cremation records, death certificates, death notices, deeds, financial statements, forms, funeral arrangement record books, funeral arrangement records, gravestone rubbings, holy cards, hospital records, insurance records, ledger books, legal documents, lists, memorial cards, military discharge records, newspaper articles, newspaper clippings, notes, obituaries, payment arrangements, photographs, purchase orders, social service records, and wills. | | | | Call #: | MS 5059 | | | | Extent: | 76.90 linear feet (77 containers and 4 oversize volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Saxton Funeral Home (Lakewood, Ohio) | William Daniels Funeral Home (Lakewood, Ohio) | Daniels-Parker Funeral Home (Lakewood, Ohio) | Klanke Funeral Parlors (Lakewood, Ohio) | Saxton-Klanke Funeral Home (Lakewood, Ohio) | Saxton-Parker-Daniels Funeral Chapels (Lakewood, Ohio) | Death care industry -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Funeral homes -- Ohio -- Lakewood. | Crematoriums -- Ohio -- Lakewood. | Death certificates -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Registers of births, etc. -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 8 | Title: | City Infirmary, Cleveland, Ohio, Records
| | | | Creator: | City Infirmary, Cleveland, Ohio | | | | Dates: | 1867-1876 | | | | Abstract: | The City Infirmary was established in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1855 to house and assist the poor, aged, mentally ill, and handicapped. The State of Ohio authorized county governments to build and administer poorhouses and infirmaries to provide long-term care for the poor and homeless in 1816. Cuyahoga County was the only county that did not establish a poorhouse, so Cleveland built a combined poorhouse/infirmary in 1827 behind Erie Street Cemetery that accepted referrals from throughout the county. As the population of Cleveland expanded rapidly, its City Council voted in 1849 for a tax levy to pay for a separate workhouse and infirmary. In 1855 the new City Infirmary was built on the site of the current Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital. A few years later, Cleveland was experiencing the consequences of a national economic panic which included an influx of "inmates" to the City Infirmary that included newborn babies, the elderly, and the infirm. Immediately after the American Civil War, Ohio changed its infirmary law to require the election of infirmary directors and boards, thus injecting politics into the management of the City Infirmary. Cleveland's population doubled between 1860-1870, its economy rapidly industrialized, and its immigrant population increased dramatically. The City Infirmary cared for the poorest, most vulnerable citizens of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County during this era, including destitute individuals and families, the mentally ill, the aged, children too young to be apprenticed, alcoholics, and those suffering from mental and physical disabilities. During the 1870s, Cleveland was again mired in an economic panic that did not begin to ease until 1878. The City Infirmary again experienced a flood of impoverished and ill individuals and families seeking aid. Increasingly, those seeking help at the City Infirmary were recent immigrants to the United States, including Germans, Irish, and Eastern Europeans. At the turn of the century, the City Infirmary was transformed into Cooley Farms which became a national model for service delivery and rehabilitation. The collection consists of one intake ledger. | | | | Call #: | MS 5134 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland (Ohio).
