The topic for the October 2009 edition of the Graveyard Rabbits Carnival is funeral cards.  Here’s one from my small collection, for Clarence M CAHILL, who is my first cousin three times removed.

Clarence was born on 31 May 1900 in Kane County, Illinois, a son of John F CAHILL and Anna GLYNN Cahill.  He died on 7 December 1964 in Cook County, Illinois (likely Chicago).

According to his obituary, visitation was at Williams Funeral Home in Oak Park.  There was a mass at St. Lucy Church, followed by the burial at Holy Sepulcher Catholic Cemetery in Alsip, Cook, Illinois.
