Finding Aids

Indexes: The sexton included an index which lists names and page numbers. It appears that the names refer to cemetery plot owners and not to deceased individuals.

Related Records

Interment records from Brigham City (Utah). City Sexton, Series 22072, duplicate most of the entries in the sexton's ledger. Interment records were reconstructed after the cemetery office burned in 1963. The sexton's ledger is apparently an original record which survived the fire.
