Progress reports

 * Funeral home records - Lois Fowles is starting to input funeral homes on the county pages from one of the directories. (She was looking for work, so I gave her a big task that did not need a lot of explaining.) She will link to their web site and cite the reference to the directory.
 * Neighboring counties - Joy Bogar is updating the images and centering the blurb to the right of them. Starting to look really good.
