Our Cemetary Records Collection gathers rare books that offer information about cemeteries in the surrounding area and the people buried in them. These books can be used to find a gravesite for someone, and some of the books include detailed information, such as plot numbers, dates of birth and death, or family relationships for the deceased.

Some of the books in our Cemetary Records Collection have information for graves dating back to the early 1800's and some books have infromation from the 21st Century.

Most of the information in the books is arranged by location of cemetery, then alphabetically by name of the deceased, and many of the books include an index of names in the back.

Because the books in our Cemetery Records Collection are rare, they can only be viewed in our Local History Room while it's open. Researchers are welcome to take pictures, and there is also a photocopier available.
