St Michael's Catholic Cemetery - lists prior to 1907 appear to be copies of Carl Smith individual cards, rather than the cemetery lists themselves.

I'm curious about the source, too, since the books I've seen had more information for specific burials. 

Btw, the heading for this should read 'interment'.  Internment is something different.

Two questions:

1. At St Michael's, re; the "Catholic" part? Does that mean you had to be Catholic to be buried there?

2. Is there a way to change a listing on the Gwulo Happy Valley  list? At the moment it shows as follows and should read died 5th July 1941. all other info is correct.
