  • The board of
      cemetery commissioners shall have the supervision  and  control  of  all
      village cemeteries. It shall cause the same to be divided into lots, and
      provide  for  the conveyance thereof to individuals for the sole purpose
      of interments, and upon the payment of the purchase-price  of  any  lot,
      shall,  in  the  name of the village, execute, acknowledge and deliver a
      conveyance to the purchaser thereof. The clerk of the village shall keep
      a record of the sale of each lot, its number, the date of sale  and  the
      name  of  the  purchaser;  and  shall record each conveyance thereof. No
      sale, transfer or  assignment  of  such  lot  or  any  interest  therein
      subsequent  to  the  sale  by  the  village shall be valid, unless by an
      instrument in writing signed and duly acknowledged and recorded  in  the
      office  of  the  village  clerk. The clerk shall be entitled to the same
      fees as the county clerk for the recording of each conveyance.
