I'm trying to find where records for a past funeral home may now be found. My hope is that the records of the original Toye undertaker business can be found somewhere, and that there will be some information about the following burial:
James Nolan, shoemaker
Died Aug 12, 1901, age 75, in the State Almshouse, Cranston, RI
Undertaker: T. Toye
(I'm hoping to establish that this James Nolan was my gg-grandfather.)
The Toye family ran a funeral home for many years in the Providence area. When James Nolan was buried in 1901, it was run by Thomas Toye. Later the business was known as Thomas Toye & Sons, and was located at 572 Elmwood Ave.
In the 1940s, Melville Comstock & Sons is the name of the funeral home business at 572 Elmwood Ave.
I have learned that the Comstock business did not acquire the Toye burial records when they bought the Elmwood Ave building.
If anyone knows where there may be info about where these old records ended up, I'd love to know!
