Summary of Records
Scope and Content
This series contains records kept by the sexton and by the city documenting the business of the cemetery. Included are a record of burials, a register of deaths, a ledger of cemetery board meeting minutes, and a financial ledger. The record of burials contains such information as the name, age, date of death, cause of death, cemetery plot, sex, marital status, physical description, ethnicity, occupation, last known residence, place of birth, and place of death of the deceased. The register of deaths contains similar information except does not typically note the cemetery plot. The record of board minutes is sparse and only contains minutes from early meetings, including the governing rules of the board and a handful of bookkeeping notes. The ledger tracks payments toward the cemetery's general fund and other cemetery finances by owners of plots.
