Interments in Lombardy Cemetery, Bellefonte, New Castle, Delaware, United States

This is an interment index for Lombardy Cemetery focused on:

• surname
• years of birth and death
• persons associated by sharing a monument
• commentary about unusual states of monuments

The year range listed takes into account all sources of data considered here.

Data and table description

Tables are transcluded from four separate pages; to edit a table, edit the corresponding page (see whatlinkshere for links). The choice of where to split the surname listing was based on the first letter frequency of surnames in the 2000 census.^[1]

The tables contain data from three sources.

• "CY" indicates original survey work by user:ceyockey
• "FG" indicates original survey work conducted by several people and deposited into Find-A-Grave.^[2]
• "IN" indicates original survey work conducted by J.Q. Scott and deposited into Interment.net^[3]

Where there is a putative match between the data sets, this is indicated by identifiers separated by "~", such as "FG~CY"; a putative match is based on conservation of surname and years of birth and death. A confirmed match is based on conservation of full memorial transcription content and would be indicated by "=", such as "FG=CY".

For "CY" survey results only, a surname is associated with a letter (most N or W, a small number C, as of 23 July 2011) and a number appearing in the "section" and "#" columns, respectively. If two surnames share the same letter-number combination, they occur on the same monument. The letter corresponds to an ad hoc designated section of Lombardy Cemetery (W, N, C, S as of 21 July 2011) as depicted by the schematic map in the gallery below.

War memorials

In Section N there sit one obvious and one potential war memorial. The obvious memorial is a very large single stone, 8 feet or more in height, with an inscription on the face which reads "J. Ferdinand Speer Post <newline> No B15 <newline> Veterans of Foreign Wars". The potential memorial consists of two identical stones set 10 or more feet apart which appear to be mountings for a missing object(s); on each stone is engraved "Dept. of Delaware <newline> G.A.R. <newline> 1861–1865".
