Division D Block 8 is labeled "permiscous" on the City cemetery map dtd 1933. This could be a misspelling of "permiscuous," a term used for cemetery areas where burial space is purchased one space at a time, instead of the usual purchase of a larger family plot where related persons could be buried. Unlike areas containing family plots at Maplewood, this area is without trees, shrubs, coping or other boundary markers.
Division D Block 8 holds four 18ft by 18ft sections. Each section has space for at least ten adult graves and these adult size spaces are numbered (for the purpose of our inventory) one through ten.

The space numbers in the lists below refer to the location of the grave marker and not necessarily the location of the body. Sometimes a grave marker sits in between two spaces and is labeled to reflect that (e.g. 1/2 sits in the middle of space 1 and space 2). The marker may have been originally placed in that location or shifted to that area due to soil erosion. If a grave marker holds more than one name we have not attempted to guess which space holds which body unless a footstone or other evidence makes the placement clear. It is common to find two or three markers in one "grave" space, especially where children have been buried.
