The number of interments in Wooster was 115, against 104 in 1897, an increase of 11 in 1898. It should be remembered that all of these did not die in the city, but some at other points who were brought to Wooster for interment. A number too, who died in and near Wooster were taken to other places for burial. A glance over the list will show that the number of old persons who passed away was very large.
