I just realized that the Roster of the Dead does not show which villagers are esteemed elders. So unless I'm willing to keep track, once the 50 graves are taken up I will no longer be able to find out who was an esteemed elder. Is there any way to fix this?

Add EE to their name when they become Esteemed Elders? Or call them Elder _____, like Elder Tatu or Elder Tamata.

or just add esteemmed elder to their graves, my jack of all trades person when died, i put jack of all trades on his grave
