STARTING TOMORROW, CLERK OF COURTS WILL KEEP A RECORD OF ALL BURIALS

State Law Provides For Uniform System of Listing All Graves in South Dakota
"From the cradle to the grave a record is kept."
This might well be the new motto of the clerk of courts. For, effective tomorrow morning, this officer (in conjunction with the State Board of Health), who already records a detailed account of the birth, marriage, divorce, and death of every person in his particular county, will keep an additional record of the date, cemetery, and exact spot in which each person is buried.

The law providing for this, known formerly as House Bill No. 183, was passed at the last session of the state legislature. The bill, sponsored by the American Legion, was introduced by the Committee on Military Affairs for the original purpose of obtaining the military records of all war veterans buried in South Dakota and to set up a uniform method for recording burial certificates.

The system will work something like this:
Whenever a death occurs in the county, a death certificate will be filed with the clerk of courts, who, in turn, issues two burial permits (an original and a duplicate) to the undertaker in charge. It then becomes the duty of the undertaker to contact the person in charge of the cemetery in which burial is made, and deliver to him the two permits.

As required by law, the caretaker of the cemetery must certify, over his signature, receipt of the permits, the date of burial, and the grave, block, lot, and section numbers. The original permit is then returned to the clerk of courts by the undertaker and the duplicate is kept by the person in charge of the cemetery, who also must keep a record of burials. After receiving the original burial permit back from the undertaker, the clerk of courts immediately records the burial in three places, the file of burial permits, a card index listing every person buried in the county, and on a plat, or map, of the cemetery. Both the card index and the file have certain essential facts about the person buried recorded on them, and a plat is kept for each cemetery in the county.

Since the bill was passed by the legislature, WPA laborers have been surveying and maping the cemeteries in the state, and standard plats have been prepared for each of them.
S. P. Glanzer, Beadle County clerk of courts, said that maps of the type used in this project could be obtained by mailing $1 to Rapid City.

"It is almost imperative that every cemetery association secure one of these in order to comply with the law," Glanzer said.

The clerk of courts will keep a plat of each cemetery and will mark the position of the grave of each person buried on it.

There are 30 cemeteries in Beadle County and the clerk of courts is keeping a list of the name, location, and the number buried in each of them.

Glanzer said the number buried is not yet complete, but the Grave Registration Committee will bring it up to date shortly after July 1. From then on the record will be kept by the clerk.

AFTER 31 YEARS, LAST MEMBER GRADUATES
Lake Preston, June 12 - An epoch in the school's history was completed with the closing of the school this year. The graduation of Nellie Ann Kopperud, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kopperud, closed the registration of a member of that family after a period of 31 years when the eldest daughter, Alice, entered the first grade.
Since that time, all 11 children have graduated from the high school, some with valedictory and some with salutatory honors.
