Funeral Card Friday - (One Day Late)

Last week, I called myself making a commitment to updating my database, "(Mostly) African American Funeral Programs", each Friday under the meme, "Funeral Card Friday".  Well, as you can see, I've already failed.  Not only didn't I update the database and write this post yesterday, but the thought of doing so never even crossed my mind!  Apparently, this is yet another indicator that I need to start writing down each and every thing that I say I'm going to do, as this is not the first faux pas I've made, of late.
Anyway, the second I realized it, I got busy.  Another 50 names have been added to the database, representing deceased individuals from the North and South Carolina, New York, Massachutsetts, and New Jersey.  Newly added surnames include the following:
Alston
Barnes
Beauford
Blockson
Boone
Brewer
Clifton
Davis
Edgerton
Geter
Hall
Harris
Henderson
Howze
Johnson
Lightener
Odom
Pearce
Perry
Privette
Purefoy
Reed
Saunders
Thomas
Spivey
Walker
Williamson
Wilson
Please take a look at the database, where maiden names and names of spouses are also given. In addition, you will find birth and death dates and locations for each of the deceased, as well as any nicknames or titles.  Remember, funeral programs are rich with genealogical info, so if you are researching any of the surnames and/or areas noted in the database, and you'd like to know more, or get a copy of the full funeral document, just let me know in the comments and/or email me at yarsan@aol.com with your request.

I hope this will help someone!  Happy genea-hunting!
