These sections include the Old Cemetery, Horne Addition, Horne #2 Addition, Soldiers' Section, Abray Park Additions, Jones Addition, 1919 Addition and Societies' plots for the Masons, Knights of Pythias, Foresters and other groups. The alphabetic index (reels MCR 15-2 to 15-13) makes reference to page numbers in the registers corresponding to the cemetery section. In each register, the names are arranged by burial location in the section (range, block, plot, subdivision and lot number). Most registers (reels MCR 15-1, 15-14 to 15- 33) contain an alphabetic index of names in that volume. The index is sometimes found at the end of the volume.
