Headstones do not exist for the vast majority of these burials. Some may have fallen and were eventually covered over with dirt.
The transcription below represents all the data in the sexton's book. Ditto marks were replaced with the word above it, however. In a few cases a string of words appears to have been written across two or more columns. The words appear below as found in the sexton's book. The German location of birth is very likely misspelled. No further research was done to verify data in any entry. You should try to verify the data with other records, e.g., will or estate files, bible records, gazetteers. Newspaper death notices were rare during this time period (better by the 1880s) but might also be checked. A microfilmed copy of the sexton's book is at the Belleville Public Library, the original is at City Hall.
Many, many surnames are spelled phonetically. The column labeled Transcriber's Comments includes our guess for the equivalent surname based on sound, letters, and familiarity with some St. Clair County family names. Sometimes the handwritten letter looked like two different letters, e.g., i and e, or terminal n and r. The Transcriber's Comments column will include the letter substitution in such cases.
Given names might be misspelled but if easily recognized, its corrected spelling was not added. Here is a list of often misspelled names or words in this sexton's book.
[ Square brackets ] might also appear and signal other words we added, usually for clarification.
