Funeral Programs of Boyle County African
American families and their relatives from 1930s to the present. As many
newspapers would not print obituaries of African Americans, families and funeral
homes developed programs for the funerals. Contributors to this collection include:
Charles Grey, Linda Raines Warren, Marthetta Clark, Mack Cloud, Rosetta
Ford, Charlotte Gray, Glen Grey, Mae Harris, Ella Johnson, James Hunn, Mary Joyce
Kinley, Sharon & Alonzo McGuire, Billy Richardson, Emma Shannon,
Sarah Riffe, Viola Singleton, Mary Sleet, Lyda Smalley and Flora Story.
Clicking on the letter below will bring up a
page which will include the file. All pages have, as well, a list of names in that
file - the names are NOT links, so they are not "clickable." These files are HUGE, and they contain in total well over
1,600 funeral programs, most of which are
at least 2 pages, for a total of well over 3,200 pages. This project is
massive, and full credit goes to Charles DeRoy Grey and Linda Raines Warren who
scanned almost all of them.
