TITLE: Cemetery deeds
DATES: 1900-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by owner name.
DESCRIPTION: This series contains cemetery copies of deeds for cemetery plots in both Morgan Cemetery No. 1 (South) and Cemetery No. 2 (North). These records are kept in bound volumes and are used by cemetery staff to track ownership and burial rights for cemetery plots. The deeds typically list such information as the name of the purchaser, the date of purchase, the location of plot (s), the number of plots, the amount paid, and the signatures of the mayor and recorder certifying the record.
The earliest deeds are hand-written copies, but later deeds are duplicates filled out on standardized forms. A number of other documents are inter-filed in the books. These documents are typically related to the deed with which they are filed and include such things as duplicate copies of deeds, receipts, plot maps, record of ownership transfers .
These are copies of actual deeds issued to owners of cemetery plots. They are used to keep an accurate record of plot ownership and whether they have perpetual care. They include deed number, date issued, name of owner, amount of ground purchased, description of grave purchased, amount paid and receipt number. In some communities these deeds are recorded by the county recorder, but in most communities the deeds are not recorded and the municipality retains the official copy. These deeds are also called "Burial Rights."
