TITLE: Cemetery records
DATES: 1878-1980.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by date.
DESCRIPTION: These cemetery record volumes consist primarily of interment registers, but also include occasional lists of plot owners, and some limited financial/personnel records. Interment registers generally consist of the name of the deceased, the date and place of birth, date and place of death, names of parents, attending physician, cause of death, and the location of the grave, but the contents of each volume do vary and all may not include all of the preceding information. Some registers may also include information on the construction of the vault, the sexton's name, and the occupation, religion, and marital status of the deceased. Not all information is given for all burials. The plot owner lists generally consist of the name of the purchaser, the amount paid, the date, and a description of the lots purchased. The financial/personnel records consist primarily of a listing of the individuals employed by the cemetery, the days they worked, and the amount paid to them. These registers serve as a cross-reference to plat books. They are arranged numerically by interment number. They include interment number, name of deceased, permit number, date interred, certificate number, date of death, location of grave by plot, lot, tier, name of undertaker, owner of lot, and pertinent information on removal (if applicable).
