Reading and research notes
The advertisement reads:
McManus & Freeman Successors to James McManus FUNERAL DIRECTORS Funeral Parlors— S. E. Cor. 7th and Castro St. Phone Oakland 171 Oakland, Cal.
Kevin describes this as advertising after James’s death. The crop itself supplies no newspaper title or issue date; these remain to be established from the linked page. It identifies the firm as successors, but does not name the individual partners, prove a family relationship, or date the transfer.
Do not assume the corner address is precisely the same premises as 844 Castro Street without directories, maps or property records.
Images supplied by Kevin McManus, 21 September 2026. The linked newspaper pages were inaccessible during this review; readings are from the supplied images.
