INDEX TO CHEVRIER'S JOURNAL: 1894-1895 Iosco County Michigan ************************************************************************ August 27 2002 Copyright c2002 by the Huron Shores Genealogical Society (HSGS), c/o the Robert J Parks Public Library, Oscoda MI 48750, 989-739-9581. This Index was prepared by Huron Shores Genealogical. Society member Alonzo J Sherman of Oscoda Michigan, who did the keypunching, editing and publication. This index includes about 100 entries. A copy of the records was made for the Huron Shores Genealogical Society, by member James Donaldson of Detroit Michigan. This copy is kept in the genealogical section of the Robert J Parks Public Library. The items in these records most interesting to genealogists are: Name of the deceased, name of the person who ordered the funeral (could be a parent, spouse, child, relative, neighbor, employer etc, but relationship is not specified); age at death; place, date and cause of death; and place and date of burial. Military service is also shown. Introduction to the records. Attached are notes from an audiotape transcription and handwritten memoranda, of (as I believe) the financial journal of Joseph A C Chevrier, Oscoda, Michigan, undertaker, furniture maker, and liveryman. Entries in the Journal are from 4 January 1894 to 21 November 1895. The entry numbers on this list are for reference only and do not correspond to numbers in the journal. Entry 16 in this list has the first reference to a Potter's Field Grave, and the remark "cemetery book not to be found." This may indicate that Chevrier had charge of the allotment of graves in the township (non-Roman Catholic) cemetery. There are no "P.F." entries after #48, 28 Nov 1894, which may indicate that the "cemetery book" had been found, or that a new one was started (perhaps for the new year). I tried to note where no burial preparations were made in association with a death; this does not necessarily indicate that these remains were not buried in Oscoda. There was at least one other undertaker in Oscoda at that time (Louis N Gagnier) that may have done the burials; or they may have been privately arranged. Entry #69a is an example of an ambiguous journal entry was Huckins (sic) the gravedigger; or is he paying for the grave being moved; and was he the father of the child? I'm sure there are some errors in this checklist; an update will be provided after I can again check the original. Cemetery data provided by James Donaldson (from manuscript in private hands). Undated. Format of the index is: 1. Name (Some notes are added after the name). 2. Age at Death. 3. Date of Record (Which is generally near the date of death). 4. Record Number (#). A copy of this complete record is not available. Acopy of this index is available for $5.00 if picked up, add $2.00 if mailed. A copy of a individual records is available for $4.00, post paid Order.
