In Memoriam card cover

In September 2009 a set of papers belonging to the late Fred Firth were donated to the Marsden History Group by Norman Wrigley, husband of Fred's daughter Marjorie. Among the papers were a bundle of In Memoriam cards which were given to mourners at funerals in late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The majority of the cards below are from Fred Firth's papers with a few more added as they were donated.
