It says "That the Trustees will purchase if they can obtain them on reasonable terms one or more of the lots numbered 88 - 699 - 700 & 446 for an entrance way to the Chapel."

Did they renumber the lots? Lot 699 and 700 are occupied by the Freelund Mausoleum. It's not close to the site described as "near Cypress and Pine Avenues."
