 Item — Reel: GS36-131

Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

One roll of film (GS36-127) covers early interments in St. John Cemetery (1867-1922). The remaining records (crypt and ground interment cards and an alphabetical listing of deceased owners, keyed to the interment cards) are primarily for Hope Mausoleum, although some burials in St. John are included. Many of the interment cards include copies of the obituary, clipped from the newspaper. The index gives the owner and lists other interments in the crypt.
