An alphabetical index starts on image 24, although most of the entries are struck through, likely as remains were moved to Mount Moriah Cemetery in 1860. Three additional pages of names are entered upside down from the back of the notebook; these appear to be decedents from different congregations.]]>

This manuscript documents the agreement between the Trustees of First Baptist and a Mr. William Brown that Mr. Brown would "in a good workmanlike manner and according to the best of his art and skill" remove all remains to Mount Moriah.

In 2016, human remains were uncovered at the Arch Street site by a construction crew. The effort to identify and re-inter those remains are documented at archstbones.org.]]>

These pages contain a list of graves, by range, including the stone number, name of the interred, date buried and age at time of burial. Entries are marked with an "X," presumably meaning those remains were successfully identified and removed.

Note: The final page is an invitation to a mock trial hosted by the Young People's Working Association of First Baptist Church in 1890, which includes handwritten notes about unmarked graves on the back.]]>
