The records appear to be sexton's books or transcriptions of sexton's books. For the most part, they contain the following information: name, age, sex, occupation (through volume 6), bond/free status (through volume 7), disease, when/where born/died, period of residence in the city, marital status, and remarks (these vary). The volumes are arranged by date, except for volumes 1a and 3, which are arranged by first letter of surname. Beginning with volume 6, the record notes whether burials took place in cemetery #1 or #2. Volume 10 appears to be a register of vaults or plots; the dates given are questionable. The final volume also records the permit number, name of undertaker, and the square/lot number and is only available on microfilm, the original being still in the custody of the Cemeteries Office. Random pages are missing from several of these volumes.
