Towards the bottom-right corner, running west to east, two more plots are labelled 57 and 58.

Description:: This German-language booklet contains a list of names of people who purchased plots in and were buried in the Charleston, South Carolina Hampstead cemetery. The top of each page reads "Begräbnis Paltz / Burial Place/Plots" and lists the plat number. The purchasers' names are listed below the header with the half of the plot they purchased. Many purchasers are annotated with “1/2” or “1/4.” Some purchasers are crossed out. The people buried in the plot are listed on the page's lower half. Each name is marked with a cardinal direction to indicate the half of the plot in question. "N" indicates Norden / North, "S" indicates Süden / South, "W" indicates Westen / West, and "O" indicates Ost / East.
