South — Cemetery filing

Cemeteries with a file in Florida

Florida files 4 burial grounds said to keep their dead — monuments and dates on one side of the record, figures among the markers on the other. Some of these grounds are meticulously documented; others survive mostly in the reports about them. Both kinds are filed the same way here: what is known, and what is said.
