~Source of database: Harris Funeral Home Records, 1900-1916
~Transcribed for Allamakee co. IAGenWeb by S. Ferrall

These records were copied from microfilm at the Family History Library, Salt Lake City, UT by the transcriber.

~*~

Important! Please Read!
These records were handwritten and in many cases very difficult to read due to the fading of the ink and/or the handwritting itself. I have attempted to transcribe them accurately, but the researcher should expect errors. In the course of my research, it became apparent that the Harris Funeral Home records contain a multitude of errors and inconsistancies, including:

-Surname spellings appearing to be phonic, rather than how the family spelled their surname
-Phonic spelling of cause of death
-Dates of death in conflict with other records
-Age of the deceased different from other records
-First names of the deceased being different from other records

While transcribing these records I also consulted area cemetery, newspapers, obits & Iowa Death Certificates (IDC) in an attempt to help clarify or add information about the deceased person.

The last column of the transcription contains notes from the transcriber and do not appear on the original record. All question marks (?), dash marks (--) and brackets [ ] were placed by the transcriber and do not appear on the original record. Because the ages given on the record were crammed between the names, it was often impossible to tell which person they belonged to. Unless certain, only the age in years were included in the transcription.

Please use this transcription only as a guide and verify the information.
