Sep. is an abbreviation for the Latin word sepulti or sepultus meaning burial. So Barbara Boss died 25 October and was buried 27 October.

I didn't know that. Thank you so very much. Sep. was on every death on those two pages - sometimes it made sense as a burial date with a September death date, but on others it didn't make sense at all. Now I know.

Notice, also, that it reads, 25 Oct. Mort.... Mort. is the abbreviation for Mortis, meaning death. That is the first clue that Latin is being used in these records. Hope this helps.

I had figured out the Mort. but not the Sep. Probably first time I've had Latin in with records I've researched. Thanks again. Edna
