CLINTON (UTAH). [209]
CEMETERY RECORDS, 1906-[ongoing]
While some records are in the custody of the Utah State Archives, more recent records may still be with the creating agency.
DESCRIPTION: This series consists of four different types of records which document burials and plot ownership at the Clinton cemetery. The first set of records are certificates of purchase which include the lot location, the name of the purchaser, and the date of purchase. The second item is a list of owners of each individual plot. The third item is an interment register. The register has columns for the name of the deceased, place of death, date of burial, location of grave, and the name and address of the undertaker. The last set of records are plot cards. Plot cards contain information about the individual buried there: the individual's name, parent's names, spouse's names, date and place of birth, date and place of death, burial permit number, whether or not there is a perpetual care agreement, the name of the funeral director and the name of the lot owner. Some plot cards contain notations regarding transfers of ownership.
ARRANGEMENT: The records are grouped by document type. The purchase certificates are arranged chronologically. The list of owners is arranged by plot location. The interment register is arranged chronologically. The plot cards are arranged in alphabetical order by last name of owner.
RESEARCH NOTE: Prior to February 18, 1937, the cemetery was owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On February 18, 1937 the church transferred ownership to the city of the main portion of the currently existing cemetery. The city acquired ownership of another large parcel of land on May 2, 1943. Many of the certificates of purchase in this series were issued by the LDS Church.
PROCESSING NOTE: This series was processed by A. B. Schmuland in December 2000.
