The free reader is included on the CD. When you place the CD in the computer, it auto opens and searches for Adobe Acrobat Reader. If it does not find the Adobe Acrobat Reader, it will install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader and then go to the introductory page of the CD.

Shafer Brothers Funeral Home records are contained in nine books that cover the years January 1885 through July 1919. Each book has been scanned front to back and placed on it's own CD.

The first eight books are recorded in a funeral home ledger. The ninth book is recorded in a type of business ledger. Some of the books contain inserts, paper that was glued into the original book, to lengthen the book. There is an original index in the front of each book. There are times when a page is missing and there are times when the funeral sequence for each year has been numbered incorrectly. The books are very old and in fragile condition. It took a great deal of time to scan each book carefully and not damage the original record. Therefore, some of the pages are not as straight as I would have preferred, but the information is clearly visible. These compilations of Shafer Funeral Home books are exact replicas of the original books.
