Funeral Card Friday

This is actually the funeral home card for 4th great-grandfather Nicholas Adams.  It actually contains a lot of information.  Besides when and where he was born, it also lists the exact time of death.  The funeral was held on 26 January 1904 at 3PM at his residence in Charlotte Township, MO.

Funeral Card Friday

 Today's funeral card is that of my great grandmother Ruby Collins (Dickerson) Grimes.  She was the daughter of Lawrence Leander and Lillie May (Vermillion) Dickerson.  She so detested her middle name that she used the letter "D" instead of Collins.  Collins was her paternal grandmother's last name.  Why she hated it, I don't know.
