LOT DIAGRAn BOOKS. 
Every cemetery has its unmarked 
and uncared for graves that in time be- 
come difficult to locate and are the 
source of delay and inconvenience 
when it becomes necessary to remove 
a body, to make an interment near by, 
to put in a foundation for a monument 
or marker, or for many other reasons 
that frequently arise when it is neces- 
sary to know the exact location of a 
g grave. The pages of the Lot Diagram 
Book are cross ruled ten squares to an 
inch. Each square represents one foot. 
A lot is designated by making a line in 
red ink around the exact number of 
square feet it contains each way, graves 
are located by ruling off squares re- 
presenting the number of surface feet 
of grave the exact distance from the 
nearest boundry lines of the lot. Trees, 
monuments, paths, walks, etc., may 
also be located.
