Scranton
Undertakers
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. Richard M. Reese
