Containers:

Box 13

Scope and content:

Card file indexing residents discharged from the Home alphabetically by surname. The cards include all residents, temporary boarders as well as permanent residents, who left the home, whether by death, voluntary departure, or expulsion. Each card includes name, birth date [usually], date of entering Home, death date or date of leaving Home, and place of burial. Some cards may contain brief additional notes, such as funeral home used, hospital where death occurred, etc. Although the label on the file box indicates coverage from 1921 to 1995, the cards actually include information on residents discharged from the Home as early as 1900.
