Included in this collection are minutes of meetings of the trustees, cash accounts, and mis­cellane­ous records of the Lake Spring Cemetery Association at Lake Spring in Dent County, Mis­souri.

 

The Lake Spring Cemetery Association was formed upon the donation by Dr. John Hyer of a one-acre burial ground on his farm at Lake Spring in northwestern Dent County, Missouri.  Mem­bers of Hyer’s own family had been buried in the cemetery, and his donation was contingent upon an association being formed to oversee the maintenance and care of the grounds.  The asso­ciation was incorporated in 1913, and it continues to maintain the cemetery through the present day.

 

The records of the association include minutes of the meetings of the Board of Trus­tees, cash accounts, incorporation papers, and other miscellaneous records.  The materials are the business records of the association, and do not include grave registers or any information regard­ing the in­dividuals buried in the cemetery.

 

Photocopies of the association’s by-laws have been placed in the Information Folder.
