Funeral Documents 2023 Progress

At the beginning of 2023 we had a group of Marion County funeral documents 
from Flanner and Buchanan dating from 1904 to 1960. 
They were in 31 alphabetical books (Photo 1)
Our Member Partners, after many hours of data entry this year, 
made the books look like this (Photo 2)
The completed funeral documents are now in digital collections and are online on our website. 
The original pages are in alphabetical boxes in the library. (Photo 3)
We have not totaled the letters up, but we do know that just the "T" names are 1,140 pages. 
[Now that's a lotta ancestors!]

 We still need some volunteers to help finish up this project. 
Do YOU have a little spare time??
