  • Revelations from the Dead: Using Funeral Home Records to Help Reconstruct the History of Black Toledo, 1912-1917
    REVELATIONS FROM THE DEAD: USING FUNERAL HOME RECORDS TO HELP RECONSTRUCT THE HISTORY OF BLACK TOLEDO, 1912-1917 Camillia Z. Rodgers A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Advisor Kefa Otiso Graduate Faculty Representative Apollos Nwauwa Gary Hess © 2010 Camillia Rodgers All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Advisor The purpose of this study is to examine September 1912 through June 1917 records from the Wanzo Funeral Home toward reconstructing aspects of the history of black Toledo, Ohio during its formative years. That time period marks the early years of the Great Migration and the beginning years of World War I, coinciding with the burgeoning of Toledo’s black community. The funeral records are currently housed at the Dale-Riggs Funeral Home, which in earlier years was owned by Elvin B. Wanzo and was the first publically listed black funeral home in Toledo. This study benefits from the use of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. One of the methodological components of this study is a quantitative approach that allows me to statistically analyze five years in the Wanzo funeral records. Categorization and analysis of the information in the ledgers will help to provide a narrative that offers insights into community dynamics and ultimately creates a profile of the late formative years of black Toledo. This study complements and augments data used in prior studies on black Toledo. The records provide a glimpse into this Mid-western industrial city’s black intra-community social relations, social and economic issues and development, patterns of migration, shifting residential boundaries and burial traditions and related to the disposing of remains of the deceased.
