Lingemann, Anthony, Detroit, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1864 July 26
Scope and Contents
The Catholics of Detroit wish to have a new burying ground. Lefevere granted permission provided the cemetery is located outside of the city limits and is used as a general burying ground for Catholics of all nationalities. Since then several meetings have been held at which all Catholic congregations of Detroit were represented. There is unanimity provided all net revenues be appropriated and used for the adornment of the place. They intend to organize a grave-yard society incorporated that shall administer the business; at the same time Lefevere shall have supervision over the society, and make regulations for interments. Several prospective sites will be presented for Lefevere's choice. ` Signed by Lingemann, Chairman, Wm. Buchanan, F.J. Mayhew, Francis Tetz, and Thomas Roche. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
