Caraway Funeral Home - Logansport Louisiana
Caraway Funeral Home, Logansport,
Louisiana, had been in the funeral business since it's beginning in 1897.
For many years the Casket Room and Undertaking Parlor was located in the
warehouse, which was next to the Sabine River, in Louisiana, just across
the Texas border. The Caraway hardware and clothing is now located at this location.
A new funeral home was built and moved to the present location ca 1937.
In later years, probably in the 1970's, the funeral home was
sold to Rose-Neath and the name was changed to Caraway Rose-Neath. Later
the Caraway Name was dropped and today it is Rose-Neath.
During the early years, 1920-1940, most of the funerals for
the residents of Joaquin and other smaller communities on the Texas side of the
Sabine River, were under the direction of Caraway Funeral Home. Caraway's
being closer and easier than using the funeral homes in Shelby County.
The burial records of persons buried in Shelby County

Presently the records for 1935 thru 1951 and 1960 thru 1983 have been located.
