Historic Easton Cemetery and Easton Heights' annual burial totals

A record of annual burial totals pulled from records of both the Easton Cemetery and Easton Heights Cemetery dating back to their respective foundings in 1849 and 1891. There are two notable spikes in burial rates. In 1870, bodies were exhumed from Easton's urban cemeteries, like the German Reformed Church cemetery (which was where the Easton Public Library now stands) and St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church on Ferry Street, and re-interred in the Easton Cemetery grounds. In 1918, the Influenza pandemic devastated the country, resulting in record-high burial totals for both cemeteries that year.
