This monument erected over the first grave opened in this cemetery is committed to the care of the citizens of Fair Water by the father of the deceased. He also expresses his thanks to them for the sympathy they manifested in his great affliction. The catalog has been developed from the card-based location system used by Arlene Erdman, the current caretaker, and is indexed both alphabetically and by row.
Entries identify lot number and burial plot.
The cemetery is laid out in lots measuring 25 feet wide and 8 feet deep, each accommodating 6 burial plots. Plot numbering runs from north to south within each lot. As illustrated on the right below, the lots were originally separated by aisles or alleys 8 feet wide and running east and west. In many cases, these aisles are now occupied by burial plots. The rows formed by the lots are spaced 4.5 feet apart.
