Surname Search: Ra-Rh

The following table lists individuals interred in an Aurora Illinois area cemetery, or whose obituary appeared in the Aurora Beacon News since May 2001, regardless of where they have been interred. If only a surname is entered in any row, click once on that name to view a list of multiple entries with that surname or variation of such.

If you find an individual of interest interred at either Spring Lake or St Paul's cemeteries and the Section/Lot/Grave location is shown, you can view a list of other's who have been interred on the same lot. Chose the Spring Lake or St Paul's lot search pages for this purpose. This is especially important when individuals with different surnames are interred on a lot owned by a single owner. The lot search pages for St Paul's are available but those for Spring Lake are under construction. While the complete set is being built, a partial set is available. You can contact the webmaster and request a listing by lot/owner for the remainder. It will be returned to you via email.

For the obituary-derived entries, no Section/Lot/Grave information is available, but normally the dates of birth and death and the age are all given. Spring Lake and St Paul's cemeteries use different record keeping procedures. The result is that information available is inconsistent. Spring Lake keeps death date and age (when available) whereas St Paul's keeps date of birth and date of death information. Likewise, St Paul's uses a section/lot/grave numbering system whereas Spring Lake does not number the graves within a lot.

You are cautioned that there are no claims as to the accuracy of the cemetery listings. Data was extracted from hand written records which could easily be mis-interpreted. In addition, spelling in the original entries may differ depending on the person entering the data on the death/interment certificate. For instance, individuals from a Stuart family could be listed as Stuart or Stewart, depending on who entered the data (depends on date of death/interment). You should search for all reasonable permutations of a surname.
