The Minute Book below was probably used from 1882-1886 and contains many handwritten names.
It appears to be a 19th-century German cemetery record or ledger recorded in a class minute book.
The handwriting uses the **Kurrent** script style common to german speakers in that era.
The headings likely indicate cemetery rows (*Reihe*) organized by direction (North to South), and the lists include names and ages (e.g., "Mon." for months, "J." or "Jah." for years, and "Tage" for days) probably indicating age at death.
