1. Florence Etta Hoogerzeil, my great grandmother. She was born 20 August 1871 in Beverly, and she married Arthur Treadwell Hitchings. She died on 10 February 1941 in Hamilton, Massachusetts. She is not buried here.
2. Lillie May Hoogerzeil. She was born on 29 September 1872 in Beverly and died on 17 May 1874 in Beverly. She is not buried in this plot. Since she was less than 8 months old when she died perhaps she is buried in the infant section of this cemetery?
3. Alonzo Hoogerzeil, born 29 May 1875 in Beverly and died 23 January 1946 in Beverly. He was married to Mabel Thurston Cressey, who died in 1951 in Salem. He is listed in the 1930 census as divorced. He is buried here without his wife or children.
4. Edward Peter Hoogerzeil, born 27 July 1877 in Beverly, and died 11 October 1907 in Beverly of "hemiplegia" (paralysis of half the body). He was unmarried and is buried here.
5. Lucy May Hoogerzeil, born 18 June 1882 in Beverly, died 3 September 1931 in Beverly. She died unmarried and is buried here.
6. Isabel Hoogerzeil, born 3 August 1888 in Beverly, and died 29 February 1960 in Beverly. She was married to George Sorenson, a Norwegian immigrant, and they had no children. They are both buried here.

The fact that the first recorded burial in this plot is in 1907 suggests that it would have been purchased not long before. Lillie May was very likely buried in the plot of another relative, possibly in another cemetery.
