Mount Pleasant Cemetery Company fonds
Fonds · 1891-1943
Fonds consists of one ledger book. The book served as an account ledger, minute book and plot record for the first 50 years of the Company's operation. It records the names, dates of burial and plot number for the deceased. It also contains reports of the annual meetings. As the Company is still in operation, a number of records were removed from the ledger. These included the names of founding members and numbers of shares owned, act of incorporation, by-laws, and the founding minutes.
