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.

Judge John McNairy. Funeral and Burial Obituary. Monday, November 13, 1837 “… died at his residence, near this city, on Friday evening, age 75 years… Divine services were administered by the Rev. Mr. Wheat, Rector of the Episcopal Church, after which the last solemn rites were performed at the family-burying ground of the deceased.” To view the entire obituary, CLICK HERE
Christ Church (Episcopal) Burial records begin in 1838. City Cemetery Interment records begin 1846. At some point, removals from the McNairy family burying-ground to the City Cemetery occurred, including Judge McNairy and probably other family members. As this information is learned, it will be posted on the City Cemetery web site.
Dr. Boyd McNairy. Funeral and Burial. Christ Church (Episcopal) Church Parish Register “1856, Nov. 22. Dr. Boyd McNairy Buried at City Cemetery” His burial was not listed in Interment Books (1846-1979).
