Section 8^th. Be it further enacted, That the Lots in said
Cemetery shall be indivisible, and upon the death of any Proprietor of
any Lot in the said Cemetery, containing not less than three hundred
square feet, the devisee of such Lot, or the heir at law, as the case
may be, shall be entitled to all the privileges of membership as aforesaid,
and if there be more than one devisee or heir at law of each Lot, the
Board of Trustees for the time being shall designate, which of the
said devisees or heirs at Law shall represent the said Lot, and vote
in the meetings of the Corporation, which designation shall continue
in force, until by death, removal or other sufficient cause, another
designation shall become necessary, and in making such designation
the Trustees shall, as far as they conveniently may, give the preference to
males over females, and to proximity of blood and priority of age having
due regard, however, to proximity of residence.
