Abstract

The ledger contains record of the sales of caskets (usually including funeral) from Charles Crews’ Funeral Parlor. It includes the name of deceased, residence, age, date of death, cause of death (for some), and other items used in service. Crews’ Funeral Parlor was located on second floor of the Higginbotham Brothers & Company in Ballinger, Texas. Crews served a wide area that included Runnels, Coleman, Concho, and Coke counties. Due to the fragile nature of the ledger, the information has been indexed in the finding aid for use by the public.
