Committee flags online cemetery records errors; to review paper files and invite residents to verify listings

Committee members raised concerns during public comment about inaccuracies in the cemetery's online map and records. The minutes cite specific examples where one spouse appeared to be marked while the other spouse was not (Barnett and Bauer family plots). Committee members said someone with administrative access could correct those discrepancies and proposed an in-person review of the cemetery against paper records.

The committee discussed encouraging residents to review online listings for their family members and to notify town staff of needed corrections. Members also noted an apparent burial in the Barnett area with no marker; they agreed to review archival cemetery records to determine whether the burial can be identified and whether the online information needs to be updated.

"It was noted that these discrepancies could be corrected by someone with administrative access to the website," the minutes state, and the committee agreed that involving the community in verifying records could both improve accuracy and familiarize residents with the new online resource.
