Colonial Funeral Home Obituaries: A Historical Perspective
Colonial funeral home obituaries are written accounts of the death of a person that are published in a newspaper or other publication. They typically include the person’s name, date of death, age, place of death, and cause of death. Obituaries may also include information about the person’s life, such as their occupation, education, and family members. One example of a colonial funeral home obituary is the obituary of George Washington, which was published in the Pennsylvania Gazette on December 19, 1799.
