TITLE: Cemetery index record of burials
DATES: ca. 1852-2005.
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by name of the deceased.

DESCRIPTION: This series contains pre-printed 3" x 5 1/2" cards used to track the identity and location of burials in the cemetery. The card files were likely started in the mid-twentieth century, using information from older sources to document earlier burials. Over time cards were added to the file to document newer burials until 2005, when the card file system was superseded by a computer database. Information recorded on the cards includes the name of the deceased, birth and death dates, parents' names, and location of grave. These books or card files are arranged alphabetically by names of owners or deceased persons interred in the cemetery. They are used for reference purposes. The records include name, interment number, deed number, date interred, location of grave by plot, lot, block, tier, grave number, and date of latest update.
