Summary of Records

This series contains receipts that were used to record payments for perpetual care of burial plots in the cemetery. Each receipt typically lists the name of the deceased person and notes whether or not the payment was made. The receipts are stubs kept in a book, with the certificate of payment for care torn out and presumably given to the person making the payment. The series also contains a small number of loose bills, also for perpetual care, but typically sent to people who had not paid yet. Also included is an undated list of people who had not paid.
