Note on Interment Records: There are gaps in what can be learned from the City Cemetery Interment Books, Interment records did not list removals from the City Cemetery nor the re-burials from family graveyards to the City Cemetery. And some burials were not listed in the Interment Books, during times of epidemics when there were many daily burials. Other sources, such as church funerals, family Bibles and obituaries can be helpful.
