| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 5 | Title: | Edward H. Lindhorst and Sons Funeral Home Records
| | | | Creator: | Edward H. Lindhorst and Sons Funeral Home | | | | Dates: | 1906-1974 | | | | Abstract: | Lindhorst Funeral Home (1905-ca. 1974) was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, at 2924 16th Street S.W. (98 Abram Street) by Edward H. Lindhorst. In 1909 the funeral home moved to 1610 Clark Avenue S.E., the former home of Elizabeth Lindhorst, widow of John H. Lindhorst (Edward's parents). It continued at the same location throughout its operation. In the early 1920s the name was changed to Edward H. Lindhorst & Son Funeral Home as Edward's son Roland E. Lindhorst joined the business. Sometime afterward, Edward's son-in-law Raymond N. Wilson, joined the business and it became known as Edward H. Lindhorst and Sons. Roland Lindhorst died in 1935, and Ruth Lindhorst Wilson, Roland's sister and Raymond's wife, joined the business. Edward Lindhorst died in 1940, leaving Ruth and Raymond Wilson to run the funeral home. Around this time, the business began being referred to as Lindhorst Funeral Home according to the death notices printed in local newspapers. Besides funeral services they also advertised invalid car service. Raymond Wilson died in July, 1972 and Ruth died in July, 1976. According to the donor, Judith Wilson Robertson, granddaughter of Edward Lindhorst, the funeral home building no longer stands. It was razed for a school in 1976. The collection consists of death certificates and funeral ledger books. click here to view the searchable index to the burial records contained in this collection | | | | Call #: | MS 5091 | | | | Extent: | 2.40 linear feet (3 containers and 2 oversize volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Lindhorst, Edward H., d. 1940. | Lindhorst Funeral Home (Cleveland, Ohio) | Funeral homes -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Undertakers and undertaking -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Registers of births, etc. -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Death certificates -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | German Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | German Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Genealogy. | Business enterprises -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 6 | 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.
