SERIES: 30416
TITLE: Lot descriptions
DATES: 1940-1960
ARRANGEMENT: None.
DESCRIPTION: This series contains lists of cemetery lots with both legal and general descriptions. The lists are kept in various formats, including indexes organized by surname, spreadsheets organized by cemetery layout, and handwritten notes presumably compiled by the sexton or city recorder. Also included are blank copies of burial register applications and deeds. Some deeds are partially complete and indicate plot number, but others are blank or crossed out. The nature of the records collected this way indicates a probability that the sexton, city staff, or others associated with the cemetery were transitioning the process by which plot owners registered and paid for their burial plots. These records were likely compiled during this time of transition as a way to track down and record who owned which plot, where, and how to contact them regarding said ownership.
