Rockwood Cemetery ledger, ca. 1909-2015. *** Personal Information Bank *** CONSULT ARCHIVIST File 1: Rockwood Cemetery interment and plot purchase ledger, ca. 1909-2015. [ MR 434 o/s ] *** Personal Information Bank *** CONSULT ARCHIVIST - item 1: Ledger book titled "Rockwood Cemetery," produced by staff of the Rockwood Cemetery at Rockwood, Eramosa Township, Ontario, ca. 1909-2015. Each page is devoted to a Lot in Blocks A through T of the Rockwood Cemetery, and lists the date a plot was purchased and by whom, and who was interred in that plot and when. Some pages include photocopies of the driver's licences of the deceased. Each page of Block T lots notes "Cremation only -- flat". At back of ledger is a somewhat alphabetical list of those interred. An undated introduction typed directly onto the first ledger page reads, "Where the Sec'y Tres of the cemetery has entered names and notations / in this register with a red X beside each entry it was an attempt to bring this register up to-date. / This was on the recommendation of the Municipal Auditors. In many cases / there is a great deal of doubt about some graves. / This was done because pencil notations were fadign with age. There appears / to be a few cases of names entered in pencil notations in the interment / column. These are not all necessar[il]ly interments but just notations made / in teh past of who was to be buried in the particular location. It is / known by teh Sec'y that some of these names are yet living. Others he has / no knowledge of." At front of ledger is a typed excerpt "from the minutes of May 29th, 1962" but does not state whether these are Township minutes or Cemetery Board minutes. This is followed by a few pages titled "Regulations Made Under the Cemeteries Act", produced by the Ontario Department of Health in 1958. - File 2: Correspondence, notes and plans that were tucked into back pocket of ledger listed in File 1, ca. 1900, and ca. 1990-2010, in the following order.
