Title
Magnolia Cemetery Plat Book, 1870-1983
Description
Plat book of Magnolia Cemetery, showing lots 1 through 36 and the Public Burial Grounds (also called Pauper Graves), with owner of each section shown. Information contained begins at 1870, with additions and inserts going up to 1983.
It should be noted that the page numbers are not always in numerical order. The images are listed in the order in which they appear in the book. For example, page 16 is marked on the top left corner of the back of a blank page, and page 15 is the next page that follows.
It should also be noted that the Table of Contents is not always correct, possibly due to incorrect reading of roman numerals. For example, the Table of Contents lists page 24 as showing Sq. No. 16, but the square number of page 24 is shown as XIV, which is 14.
