Scott,

I think you've done well with a complicated situation!  Some of my comments and 
questions would be:

The title of the website item, "Mt. Hope and Riverside Cemetery Records" should 
be in quotes, IMO.

Why did you not include the stamped page number on which Mr. Oswold's name 
appears?

What does Mount Hope Cemetery Office refer to?  I may have missed it, but I see 
no reference to the cemetery office on the website? [I never cite something I 
don't know for certain from the source I'm looking at, unless it's as an 
explanatory comment].

As mentioned in my previous post on this thread, I would include a description 
of the images, i.e. that they appear to be a multi-volume index, that the 
handwriting suggests the index may not have been prepared at the time of the 
burial, and that it is not clear which volume of the index has been imaged. 

My citation might look something like this:

"Mt Hope & Riverside Cemetery Records," database and digital images, River 
Campus Libraries, University of Rochester 
(http://www.lib.rochester.edu/index.cfm?page=3310 : accessed 5 May 2010), entry 
for George B. Oswold (1935), p. 525 (stamped) of handwritten index, volume name 
not provided.  The consistency of the handwriting suggests the index was not 
prepared at the time of the burials.

Although I wrote this citation "from scratch," I can replicate it with the 
Internet > Database and images template.
