Register of Funerals 1805 -1882
at the Westfield Presbyterian Church
Westfield, New Jersey

The church may have kept two lists - one for funerals and one for deaths. For example, the copy of the funeral register for 1872-1873 only lists people of advanced age, while another copy in the same date range lists additional younger people. We have tried to combine both lists in this master file.

  (Note: the date in the left column is the death date, not the funeral date)
