Burdge Funeral Home Records (N-P), Glenwood Springs, Garfield Co, Colo Contributed by Donna L Drummond Donated to the Archives Dec 15, 1998 See the USGenWeb Notice at the bottom of the file. Burdge Funeral Home Record Book Glenwood Springs Copied by Donna L Drummond J.C. Schwarz 'Jakie' began the Funeral home business in conjunction with a store which carried ensudry items including: oys, Furniture, Crockery, Chinaware and Cut Glass, Baby Carriages, Invalid Chairs and Sewing Machines to rent. The business was location on Grand Ave. in downtown Glenwood Springs. Joseph Ira Burdge apprentices under the direction of J. C. Schwarz. Probably about May of 1919, Mr. Schwarz retired and J. I. Burdge became owner of the Funeral Home. There are some books missing, including those containing the dates: October 1939 through September 1949, and those after 1956 until Wayne Burdge, son and heir of Joseph Ira Burdge, closed the mortuary.
