Summary of Records

This series contains various records documenting the identity and location of burials in the cemetery. Records include a hand-written burials inventory apparently created in 1979. The inventory lists the lot number, name of the deceased, age, birth date and place, death date, names of relatives, and sometimes cause of death. The source of information for this survey is unknown, but it may have drawn on earlier records and a survey of headstones. The series also includes maps showing plot numbers and the location of burials, along with a list of burials by plot number.
