This listing was created by Mrs. Florence Hutchison.  When she published the records, she included the following 
information:
	The graves of State Hospital patients, in the northwest corner of Diamond Grove Cemetery are marked only 
with a small square concrete block with a number on it.  We have found some various handwritten and typed papers 
in the City Clerk's Office, the State Hospital, and have consulted some of the death certificates in the County Clerk's 
office in order to coordinate the sometimes misspelled surnames so that relatives may have a death certificate should 
they desire one.  Such certificates do not indicate the burial spot, only the cemetery name.
	Some are designated as death date, some burial date (Bur).  The important data needed by relatives is the 
name of the county or city from which decedent came for further genealogical research of the family history.
	Part III of such burials, starting in 1850's, are now designated as Immanuel West, the earliest burial being 
that of Margaret Curtin buried 11 April 1883 in area designated as A1-op (Old Part, or in original 40 acres of Diamond 
Grove.)  The following deaths are in a second designated area as A2-op numbers 1-242 and for some reason, the next 
burials started above A-3 old part, with a new numbering system, which then extended into the new part of the 
cemetery which 10 acres had been added by deed on 4 Aug 1921.  This plat will be labeled as B-1op (old plat), and 
will then extend into the new ground labeled as B-2np (new part).  The stones are henceforth numbered consecutively 
from 1 to 1330.  The later burials are not included in this listing.
