The following table lists individuals interred in an Aurora
Illinois area cemetery, or whose obituary appeared in the Aurora Beacon News
since May 2001, regardless of where they have been interred. If only a surname is entered in
any row, click once on that name to view a list of multiple entries with that
surname or variation of such.
If you find an
individual of interest interred at either Spring Lake or St Pauls cemeteries and
the Section/Lot/Grave location is shown, you can view a list of other's who have been interred on the same
lot. Chose the Spring Lake or St Pauls lot search pages for this purpose. This is especially important when individuals with different surnames are
interred on a lot owned by a single owner. The lot search pages for St Pauls are
available but those for Spring Lake are under construction. While the complete
set is being built,
a partial set is available. You can contact the webmaster and request
a listing by lot/owner for the remainder. It will be returned to you via email.
For
the obituary-derived entries, no Section/Lot/Grave information is available, but
normally the dates of birth and death and the age are all given. Spring Lake and
St Pauls cemeteries use
different record keeping procedures. The result is that information available is
inconsistent. Spring Lake keeps death date and age (when available) whereas St
Pauls keeps date of birth and date of death information. Likewise, St Pauls uses
a section/lot/grave numbering system whereas Spring Lake does not number the
graves within a lot.
You are cautioned that there are no claims
as to the accuracy of the cemetery listings. Data was extracted from hand
written records which could easily be mis-interpreted. In addition, spelling in
the original entries may differ depending on the person entering the
data on the death/interment certificate. For instance, individuals from a Stuart family could be listed as
Stuart or Stewart, depending on who entered the data (depends on date of death/interment). You should search for all reasonable
permutations of a surname.
