Mt.Pleasant Relic Home Obituary Directories


Both Tudy Standlee and Donna Brunger have been busy scanning the old Mt. Pleasant Pyramids looking for the obituaries and adding them to several folders of obituaries divided into different time periods.  Those of you wishing to research you family ancestry can come to the Relic Home, find names in our main directory and see if there is an obituary for your ancestors.  Much information can be gleaned from the obituary such as siblings, parents, photos, activities and a little about their history or biography.  We hope you will visit the Relic Home and take advantage of this wonderful resource.
 The following is one page out of one of the obituary directories.
