Did You Ever Wonder Where William Proud Was Interred?

He was interred in St James the Less Cemetery/Chruchyard.
William Proud was once the superintendent at Laurel Hill Cemetery. The records of my grandmother Marie Weleski, Uncle Earl Schroeder and great grandfather Charles Schroeder indicated that William Proud was in charge of their interments in 1939 and 1945. It should be noted that the grounds of St James the Less were once property owned by Laurel Hill Cemetery. In addition, the superintendent of Laurel Hill also was in charge of the burials at St James the Less. That is probably why my great grandfather, Charles Schroeder was a grave digger at both cemeteries in 1945.
