Jason,
_1908 *J. Dorsey 625 W. Walburg
_1929-30 *Savannah Undtk. 514 W. Broad _1937-42 *Powell & Co. 712 W. Broad _1940-42 *Roberts Fun. Hm. 520 W. Henry _1942 *Steele's Fun. Hm. _1950 -Sidney A. Jones
_1960 *Rakestraw 520 W. Henry Bynes & Royall (Savannah's oldest black business) Cemeteries: 1921 -25 Laurel Grove is the only black cemetery listed. This maybe because it is city controlled, the others are private.
The funeral directors with the (*) are no longer in business. Your Powell & Co. being one of them. Unless someone bought them out and kept there records. I don't where those records would be.
