I wonder if anyone can tell me what the writing on this page says.  I dont need the first box as I can read that its more the part that to me looks like Corn int

Also if anyone knows what it means.  Its in a burial ledger if that helps

"Com. Int." in the context of burial usually refers to Common Interment, or burial in a communal grave. This means the individual is buried in a shared grave with others, rather than having their own individual plot.  (AI response)

Com. Int. meaning common interment was my first thought .

Many thanks and as soon as you said communal internment I knew what you meant.   Looking back at the register/ledger that makes total sense as two others are interred in the same plot, a 9 yr old girl and a 65yr old male.  The three of them dying within 3 days.  Interesting there are no depths recorded for the communal graves yet there are for the paid graves.  In one for interest nothing more it says now 10 feet as if they have had to dig through an earlier internment
