Field notes
The page places the cemetery records within the history of segregation, migration, and community-building in Fort Wayne, rather than presenting them as names alone. Its count explains that the 1,099 research entries include 1,098 register entries plus a separately documented 1928 reinterment. The map preserves the original lot numbers while adding surnames and dates, and the archive notes that some exact lots remain unresolved.
