Reading and research notes
This fragment of a funeral notice invites mourners to a funeral the next day, Wednesday, at 2 p.m., from the parlors of James McManus, 844 Castro Street, Oakland, followed by interment at St. Mary’s Cemetery.
The deceased’s name is outside the supplied crop. This is evidence for James’s business and its address, not a notice of James’s own funeral. With the supplied Tuesday issue date, the announced funeral falls on 3 May 1905. The image reads Castro, despite “Casto” in the original filename. Page number and direct page URL are not supplied.
