[NOTE: Complete lot burial list from cemetery staff, with burial dates, which may represent reburials after removal from previous graves. Asterisks indicate those buried without visible stone and/or legible inscription. Contact the cemetery for more complete information about lots and occupants at http://www.green-wood.com:
BALE: *Anne M, 9/11/1872; *Elizabeth, 12/30/1871; George, 4/4/1879; James, 10/28/1851; *James, 5/31/1868; Josephine, 1/12/1879; William H, 9/6/1941. The appearance of the name “Melinda” on the Bale monument is a mystery. There is no one named Melinda buried here under the surname BALE or any other. Possibilities: Melinda was buried elsewhere but memorialized here with other members of her family; “Melinda” was a nickname (unlikely, since there are no 1852 burials in this lot); the person was originally buried here, but moved from this lot; OR her records are missing.
