Scope and Content
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. 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 worked and the amount paid to that individual.
Research Note
