Monica sent a news article from the St. Joseph News-Press about the burial book for the Sunbridge Cemetery (aka City Cemetery) being found in a vault at the city health department on Monday, December 12, 1955. The article itself focuses on the kinds of things we usually come across as we research those who passed before us — the odd and sometimes gut-wrenching causes of death, and the number of children and infants listed. It also mentions the book covers burials for the period 1898 to 1934. But there are no names or other useful information in the article. A lot of mysteries.
But the biggest mystery is — where is the book now? Someone knows what happened to it, or might even have it in a closet, box or storage cabinet and not even know it. Maybe it was even returned to the vault.
