Scranton Undertakers

| 1870s | 1902 | 1909 |

The first listing in a city directory business section for Undertakers was in 1870 (Webb's, Scranton City Directory) .  I even went back to 1865 to check the individual names under the residential section and none listed that occupation.  All except O'Boil were listed as Furniture Makers or Cabinet Makers.
