Vintage 1941 Cemetery Perpetual Care Payment Receipt
This is a horizontal rectangular paper receipt dated December 30, 1941. The document is printed on off-white, slightly aged paper featuring a decorative black border composed of linked circular motifs. On the left side, there is a prominent, detailed engraving of a bald eagle perched atop an American flag, symbolizing institutional or patriotic association. To the right of the eagle is a faint, embossed corporate or organizational seal. The receipt is pre-printed with 'Received of' in ornate cursive script. It records a payment of $103.75 from a 'Mrs. Dorothy Jinn' (or similar) for 'Perpetual Care' related to 'John Lindsay Lot, No. 748'. The form is signed by 'H. P. Steinbach, Exec. Secr.' The paper shows moderate signs of age, including light yellowing, several vertical fold lines (one significant fold through the center), and a small physical puncture or foxing spot near the center upper section. The left edge appears to have been perforated and torn from a ledger book. The handwriting is in black ink and is consistent with the mid-20th-century cursive style. The lower left corner bears a small printer's mark: 'Goebon 754 U.S. Bond'.
