F-630 Source: Warren Meadows Funeral Home Records, Book 1970 Pg 142 Submitted by: Pat Berel berel@wnonline.net These are handwriten records, and were at times hard to read. Question marks were used where a field was not readable. Birth surnames were derived from the father's surname. If the father's name was not listed, the married surname was used in the Birth Surname field. Approximate Age is derived by subtracting year of birth from year of death when these are given. Mother's and Father's birthplace have been added to records after 1960.
