Analysis of archival records, artifacts (including garments and other personal items), engraved headstones, and coffin/casket forms and associated hardware suggests that this cemetery was used perhaps as early as 1804 or 1805, with the last interment occurring in 1876. Though the human skeletal remains were not well preserved, insights were gained into the organization and growth of this family cemetery, and changes in mortuary practices that reflect the Terrill family’s participation of the nineteenth century “Beautification of Death” movement.  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  \nThis project could not have been accomplished without the assistance of several people. Among them are the members of the field crew, including: Eric Schlarb, Edward Henry, Emily Swintosky, Carrell Rush, Meagan Jones, Melissa Ramsey, Ronny Hazlett, and Logan Kistler. Excavations were assisted by the City of Richmond, including James“Jimmy” Howard and David Evans, City Manager, and backhoe operators Sid Rawlins, Stacy Curtis, Tom Rice, and John Strong. C. Brian Mabelitini provided a historical background for the Terrill Cemetery, and processed and provided analysis of the nontextile artifacts. Christina Pappas provided analysis of textiles and leather remains. Dr. R. Berle Clay, Edward Henry, and Philip Mink conducted geophysical investigations, which included ground penetrating radar and magnetic survey prior to the excavation of the cemetery. Philip Mink and Edward Henry provided analysis of GPR data. Dr. Rinita Dalan (Minnesota State University-Moorehead) conducted down-hole susceptibility tests to determine if distinctive magnetic characteristics could be identified for unmarked grave shafts. Hayward Wilkirson prepared the line drawings and maps. Editorial assistance provided to the author by Eric Schlarb, Dr. David Pollack, and Dr. Kary Stackelbeck was greatly appreciated. Dr. George Crothers provided laboratory and storage space within the William S. Webb Museum of Anthropology. Ed Winkle and Barbara Gortman handled all of the administrative details for the project.  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nAbstract ............................................................................................................................... ii  \nAcknowledgements............................................................................................................ iii  \nList of Figures ......................................................................................................................v  \n[List of Tables ..................................................................................................................... vi](List of Tables ..................................................................................................................... vi)  \n[Introduction..................................................................................................................](Introduction..................................................................................................................)........ 1  \nHistorical Background (C.
