[PW] "somaria exhaustion"?

[Katherine Harper]

Allen--

The Western Reserve Historical Society (www.wrhs.org) is the place to search
for all things Cleveland. Their catalogue lists a WPA-typewritten list of
Erie Street Cemetery records at call number F34ZFV W527E.

Rather than wait for weeks for a mail reply, try calling the WRHS's
reference desk at 216-721-5722 ext. 224 and see if someone there can check
the book for you. Not all their items are in the online catalogue, either:
they may own the original file cards or ledger in which the deaths were
recorded.

I'd offer to look for you myself, but I live on "the other side" of
Cleveland and seldom make it all the way out to University Circle. Good
luck!
