Greenwood Cemetery Historic Trail - "a visit with over 435 historic Orlandoans at their final resting place" written by CFGS member Steve Rajtar.
Steve, as a hike leader for the Florida Trails Association, has developed a number of historical hikes in Central Florida and farther afield. One of these was a tour of the city-owned Greenwood Cemetery, which is among the oldest of Central Florida's cemeteries.
Through research into a variety of sources, Steve has documented more than 435 of the people who played a part in the history of the area and matched them up to their tombstones in Greenwood. A stroll through Greenwood with the book in hand provides a mini-history of Orlando and surrounding area.

Hawthorne Funeral Home Records, Volume 1 (October 1954 - March 1961)
compiled by Betty Jo Stockton, with date extraction and input by Susan Walters.
     Hawthorne was established by James HAWTHORNE in 1954, was passed to his sons in 1985 and went through several ownerships before becoming part of the Baldwin-Fairchild family of funeral homes. The files are scheduled to go into long term storage and would thus be unavailable.
     These records are fantastic for the genealogical researcher. Most files contain a death certificate as well as the funeral home information sheet and often other records. On the funeral record sheet are the questions asked for the newspaper obituary - name, birthplace and date, death place and date, parents, children, other family, occupation, social security number, how long in the area and from whence they came. Often there is information on pall bearers, military service, fraternal or church affiliation, etc.
     This volume includes 640 funeral records. Almost all information was extracted - only cause of death, financial data and details on coffin, etc., was omitted.
[216 pages and is indexed by name, locale and also has a general index. It is 8.5" x 11" and is soft cover with perfect binding.]
