Book of the day:
The Disposal of the Dead, edited by C J Polson, published 1953 by English Universities Press Limited, St Paul's House, Warwick Square, London. Authors, besides Polson, are listed as Brittain and Marshall.
Sections Historical Information, Mediate disposal, cremation, burial, exhumation, embalming, funeral direction.
VERY nice index for a subject you didn't want to know about. I think the sequence of chapters odd. Embalming information follows the section on exhumation.
No Photographs.

75% done organizing book collection along LOC [Library of Congress] coding.
Put a notice into Ancestorcloud saying I might be interested in doing lookups. If questions from readers involve any of the county Heritage books I have, I might be able to make suggestions about data.
Interesting books: 1948 25th anniversary graduation book for Harvard, which means the class itself graduated in 1923. The book includes class photographs.
Another goodie, the 1965 Civil War commemorate Register of graduates of the United States Military Academy. It lists all alumni of the school since 1802; and for those with relatives there is a 'genealogy' section, for fathers, grandfathers, etc.
