Transcription
From the archive.org text layer. The heading and note to the list, page 587:
PARTIAL LIST OF INTERMENTS IN MYRTLE HILL CEMETERY
Note — This list was taken from the records of City Sexton C. L. King, dating from 1874 through Sept. 2, 1922, and contains approximately 1,500 names, which is probably one-sixth of total. Additions and corrections for Vol. II. are desired. The figure after the name is the age at death; the figure after the date of death is the day of burial. In most cases the deceased were natives of Rome or Floyd County; unless otherwise noted, death occurred there. The first entry is translated thus: Burwell, Lewis D.; 59 years old; born in North Carolina; died at Rome Jan. 9, 1874; buried Jan. 11, 1874.
The entry, page 591, at the head of the year 1883:
Webb, Mrs. L. M.; 68; bn. S. C.; 2-14-83; 16.
That is, by the book's own key: Mrs. L. M. Webb, 68 years old, born in South Carolina, died at Rome 14 February 1883, buried 16 February 1883, in Myrtle Hill Cemetery.
