The Mendon, Utah Cemetery Interment Index is composed of partial data sets from my personal cemetery database records. I created the bulk of the information here, during my lot-by-lot, plat-by-plat physical survey and inventory of the Mendon, Utah Cemetery. This project took me some four years to complete, beginning in early spring 1993 and finishing up in late fall 1997. In order to make sense of this whole information overload, I had to create a cemetery map and companion Mendon Cemetery PAF, now a Gedcom file, which grew to over twelve thousand, individual record names. I have used this file to supplement the data of the individual records, in the Mendon Cemetery Interment Index. In the summer of 1999, when I became the city sexton, I added to the information I gained in the physical survey. I share with you here then a blend of the fruits of my labor, in this latest version of the Mendon Cemetery Interment Index.1

  • The following data fields are used in the Mendon Cemetery Index:
    First Name; Last Name; Gender; Birth Date; Death Date; Burial Date; Birth Place; Death Place; Father; Mother; Other Relationship and Lot Number where known.
  • There are no data set records for I, U and X, as there are no interments at present with last names starting with those letters.
  • Lots that are listed as 000 for a location, have an unknown lot and plat placement within the cemetery.
  • I have changed the underline designator that I have used prior, to denote the maiden names of married women in the various data sets, to pink text. Look at this record for an example: Hazel Muir Sorensen.
  • Mrried women with multiple last names by marriage are not always listed by who they were known as last. This cemetery interment index has been created with a Mendon slant. As an example, look at Lois Hardman Kidman Layne, she is listed with the K's under Kidman, but with Layne in the last name column.
  • In all of the data set headers, the column Sex has been replaced by G, which I now use to denote Gender.
  • The format of the Gender column is as follows: Male, Female and Unknown.
