Summary: Henry Connelly Shurtleff journals, 1842-1856, 1880-1886 (3 volumes), containing accounts. Shurtleff was a Philadelphia furniture repairer, coffin maker, and undertaker. These volumes primarily concern Shurtleff's coffins and are filled from to cover to cover with entries on the types of coffins he made and for whom. Many of the entries in Volume 2 (1852-1860) and especially Volume 3 (1880-1885) are more detailed in content, as they reflect Shurtleff's work more specifically as an undertaker.
