- File consists of plot plans for the Independent Friendly Workers' Circle section at the Mount Sinai Cemetery, which is located at 896 Wilson Ave. (Wilson and Steeles).
- Notes
- One of the plot plans was a copy of the other. The copy had a few additional names on it that do not appear in the original, but was in poor condition. Thus, the OJA archivist made a photocopy of the relevant section and discarded the original.
- Physical Condition
- The original plan is in poor condition. It has tears along the edges and should be stored flat instead of rolled.
