Title
“Obituary” Scrapbook
This is a scrapbook containing articles on the topic of local deaths, as well as page upon page of obituaries. Many of the people whose obituaries are present in the book were members of the St. Laurence parish or somehow related to Central Catholic high school. The deaths of Reverend James A. McDonald of St. Laurence’s church in 1941 and Reverend Brother Flortentius, a founder of Central Catholic High School, in 1938, are among the most covered in the book. Large articles about the untimely deaths of Mary Lou Bluemel, who drowned in Searles Pond in 1938 and Maurice F. Murray, a veteran who now has a square named after him, who died in 1938, are repeated several times in the book from different publications. Outside of the obituaries, one of the last pages also has a pamphlet from the National Catholic Community Service committee.
