References for the plot matrix and cemetery rules.

• If greater-than 50% of the grave boundaries fell within the grid, then the grave was given that grid's number.

• If greater-than 50% of the tombstone was inside the blot grid, then the grave was assumed to be m that designated plot number

For future graves

• If a tombstone marker is the 4 foot by 8-foot (32 square feet) boundaries touches any portion of a adjacent grave plot, then that plot or plots are considered in a moratorium.

• Whenever a grave is to be dug, a member of the Cemetery Committee must be on site in order to assure that no old grave sites without markers are disturbed. Any graves that are uncovered must be reported and all digging at that section must stop until the Cemetery Committee can determine who's grave it might be, and an appropriate marker placed.

• All future grave markers must lie at the most western section of the plot and no foot markers are allowed.
