The following list is a sincere attempt to show all known graves using several different sources and periodically updated headstone photographs. There may be other graves which are unknown/unlisted due to missing, unreadable, destroyed, or broken markers.

If you have knowledge of any other graves which may not be shown here, or of any incorrect information whatsoever, I would be grateful for your assistance. Drop me an email and let me know. Please avoid however, notifying me of very recent burials that do not appear here. I will capture and incorporate these on the next scheduled cemetery update.

*The majority of the supplemental information found in the "notes" section of this listing is the work of Jim Harbison in 2000 and is dedicated to his memory.

Section and Row definitions. 

For reference, arbitrary sections were defined for this listing.  The “West” section lies west of the access lane and the “East” section east lies within the bounds of the county road on the north and the access road on the north, south and east.  Rows were numbered in the “East” section beginning on the west side and they were numbered from the east side of the “West” section.

Row numbers within the “East” section are “difficult” to assign because some rows in the north-center are not well aligned.  Therefore, assignment of row numbers is somewhat arbitrary.  This work attempted to maintain a complete north/south row, even when a section could arguably be assigned to an adjacent row.
