Abstract: |
The Wm. Wischmeier and Son Funeral Home was established in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, in 1887 by William Wischmeier (1866-1922). The company initially provided undertaking services and furniture sales to the German immigrant community on Cleveland's West Side. The funeral home merged with Gustav Buesch and Sons Funeral Home in 1972, but continued providing independent funeral home services until 1988. The collection consists primarily of funeral ledgers but includes correspondence, death certificates, invoices, notes, obituaries, photographs, receipts, transit permits, and other documents related to funerals and burials. |
