In the late 1800s and early 1900s, coffins purchased through Dycusburg merchants came from a number of places. Often, because coffins were not planned purchases, these were the most urgent and necessary purchases, requiring notes to be sent to town to the merchant to get a coffin at once.
In a review of loose papers, I found where F.M. Oliver purchased a coffin and case for baby in February 1893.
