Reproduction and Use

Most of the copies of records in this series that came to the Archives in 2019 were marked as being the property of and copyrighted by Lenny Wilcox Brinkerhoff in 1996. Archives staff consulted with Virgin Town and confirmed that Lenny Brinkerhoff is the official sexton for the town cemetery. Since these records are those that she maintains in her official capacity as cemetery sexton, they would be considered to be government records and it is unlikely that she can claim them as personal property or claim copyright to them. The exeptions to this may be the records of those buried in the Smith's Mesa Cemetery and the list of deaths extracted from LDS Church records.
