Usually the names were gathered starting at the North end of the cemetery. 
If the graves were laid out from East to West, then the names were taken 
beginning at the east.  A large cemetery was recorded in sections, a 
driveway or a row of trees was the dividing line.

I took only the name and dates from the stone, and if given the 
relationship. It is not the complete inscription.  The time involved was 
the main reason -- it is very time consuming.

The last name is given first, whenever it appeared the next grave belonged 
to the same family. And they are arranged in the same grouping.  Mr. T. E. 
Haberkorn, of the St. Joe News, gave the listing of the veterans buried in 
the cemeteries. The list is some ten years or more out of date.
