Funeral rites and ceremonies -- Ohio -- Dayton

The collection consists of approximately 168 funeral cards, also known as Mass cards or remembrance cards, for the family and friends of Victor and Mary Kay Plassenthal, most of whom were Catholic and Miami Valley residents. The cards usually include the person’s name; birth, death, funeral, and burial information; a prayer or religious verse; and sometimes a photograph or additional information about family members.

This collection consists of four items: one Funeral registry for Felix Carl Utermoehlen; two newspaper clippings, one titled "Watched Ghouls Work As Flood Victims Cried in Vain for Assistance" which details scenes viewed by Mrs. Felix Utermoehlen, and another clipping on Felix's father, Theodore Utermoehlen who served as a mechanic for the Wright Brothers; and also an envelope containing the funeral purchase agreement.
