Mount Auburn Cemetery

Sept 22 [186]5

Misser E.L. & H.C. Kennard 943 Washington St

I am informed by H. Kennard Esq that Michael Kennard, prop^r of lot no. 974 in Mt Auburn was your father, and that he died many years since.

I find upon reference to our interment records that Michael Kennard died on the 15^th of August 1845, but unfortunately for title to this lot that event was 15 days before the date of the deed to the proprietor, in that if he was the person intended the deed would be void.

Will you please to call and see me, as we are making up a new catalogue, and should like to get this matter right.

Yours resp.y

A.J. Coolidge

Amos Tenney Esq 37 William St. New York

Dear Sir,

The remains of your wife were temporarily deposited in the Receiving Tomb on the 25^th of Sept. 1864 -- more than a year ago -- with your promise to remove them to New York ^^{or elsewhere} in a few days.

I shall have to request your immediate attention to such removal, as it is absolutely necessary to keep the receiving tomb free for other deposits.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Geo. Albree Esq Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dear Sir,

We are preparing a new catalogue of the lots and proprietors in the Cemetery. I have been informed that your brother John made such disposition of his estate (the residuasm) as to carry his lot no. 129 (which is real estate) to you.

The only evidence one has of title to a lot should appear upon our record and this always made in such cases as this by reference to the original will or the record. I can get at these here. But if you wish it to appear as it should upon the deed, you will send me the deed which I will return by mail. Please also enclose $3, the charge in the matter.

Yours Resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
