The above receipt is one of the wonderful items found in the Out of the Wilderness collection on the Lackawanna Valley Digital Archives. This is a receipt for burial expenses for a Z.W Knight in Waverly Pennsylvania on February 8, 1962. Charles Carpenter paid $8.50 for the coffin and attendance at the funeral for Mr. Knight. All I can say is "Wow!" This could have been a fortune to someone in 1862.
