Sharing my recent Ebay purchase where some wonderful cemetery-related "gems" can be found.
In this case a cemetery deed for a lot in the Perry Cemetery located in Perry Township, Lake County, Ohio. It was not a straight forward deed purchase either.
The cemetery deed was for Lot No. 34 in Division 4 that was originally purchased by Rollin C. (Carlos) Hawkins for $13.00 on November 28, 1866. He died much later on July 2, 1895.
However, this deed was transferred on September 10, 1875 to the heirs of Joseph Quirk , who had died a few months earlier on June 26, 1875.
Joseph Quirk's wife, Jane Quayle Quirk, had died a few days after the deed was transferred to the heirs of Joseph Quirk on September 29, 1875.
"For the consideration of $20.00
I hereby transfer my right and title to
the within described Cemetery Lot
to the Heirs of Joseph Quirk
Perry O. September 10, 1875
Signed by Rollin C. Hawkins"
