Transcriber's Notes
First 3rd-Grave line reads approximately 'Removals from Lot 214 Sec I. Pla. Oa'; the word 'Removals' is written loosely ('Remvrals'), 'from' is abbreviated ('fm'), and the final characters after 'Sec' ('I. Pla. Oa' or 'J. Pla. Ca') are uncertain. The lot number reads 214 (possibly 211).
Middle initial of both John Knoll entries could be read as 'E' or 'C'; read as 'E'.
Surname 'Lizette Hanke': initial capital is an ornate H or B; 'Hanke' is the more likely reading.
Caroline Knoll age read as '39 y.'; the first digit is somewhat overwritten.
Date format appears to be year followed by month/day (e.g. 1905 3/26 = March 26, 1905).
