Most Recent Updates, Changes & Additions


April 7, 2008  Added our First Licenses page.

March 22, 2008 There was a additional page added to Some Old Hearses.

March 13, 2008  Added some content to Our History page which has been long overdue

January 19, 2008  Added A Day at the Races and the story behind it.

November 28, 2007  Added the complete listing of the census report for the city of Scranton for the year 1890.   It contains names, addresses and occupations.

November 26, 2007  Added an article from The Scranton Times-Tribune regarding the funeral home's history.

November 25, 2007  Spent the weekend moving some things around and making some changes requested by visitors so as to make navigation and finding information easier.

November 19, 2007  Added a partial listing of names that are in the process of being listed.

September 15, 2007  Began adding several of the older funeral obituaries.

August 12, 2007 Received and distributed our 1000th condolence card.

March 2, 2007  We removed our guestbook completely.  People didn't care for it and were confusing it with a way to leave condolences.  After conducting a very small informal poll, most people would rather use emails than the guestbook.

October 2, 2006  We had our ten thousandth unique first time visitor to our website today.

October 1, 2006  Planning on another way to list a Funeral Archives without offending anyone.  Although, it will take a lot of time and effort, hope to start it soon.

September 28, 2006  We had to remove the complete Funeral Archives which contained the names and dates of death for the families we've served for more than 135 years and we had to remove almost four years of obituaries that were in the Past Obituaries section.  The reason for this is that we received a complaint from a single individual and a legal opinion that an individual's death or details pertaining to it are not of public record until those responsible publish an obituary in a freely available printing or by some other means.

July 8, 2006  Added a bare bones archive of funerals that does not have any search capabilities due to the problem many users were having using the full featured one.

June 26, 2006 Completely emptied the guest book to an archival section and installed a newer version due to spammers filling it to capacity every single day.

June 2, 2006 Weather Department down and out for the time being.  Updated search engine.

April 19, 2006  Photos added

March 29, 2006 Our History page added.

March 25, 2006 Several pictures added to the Children Then section.  Many of these were sent to me by old neighbors requesting that I add them.

March 25, 2006  Several pictures added to the Men Off to War section.  Many of these were sent to me by old neighbors requesting that I add them.

March 24, 2006 Additional information added to the 1955 flood page.

March 20, 2006 Having a small problem with the up to the second weather information.  Soon, hopefully.

February 20, 2006 Up to the second weather information soon to be available here.

January 17, 2006 Increased Server Bandwidth to Accommodate Several More Concurrent Users Without Slowing Things Down for Anyone.

January 12, 2006 added a few photographs to most of the sections already existing.

December 25, 2005 Added a stronger, more  versatile search engine.

December 13, 2005 Installed an IP Track and Confirm System Mainly for the Guestbook and Condolence Card Sections to Weed Out Fake and/or Fraudulent Submissions.  This wasn't a big problem yet, but was beginning to be.  Now all IP addresses can be verified by their provider, and tracked to the city and street address at the time of use.  It is a very good, accurate and quick system for those needing one.

Although it is not new I was asked to make people more aware of the Scranton Times webcam which can be accessed here, Eye On Scranton
