Section and Row definitions. 

For reference, arbitrary sections were defined for this listing. The “West” section lies to the west of the north/south access lane (entrance gate) and the “East” section lies to the east of the service road. Rows were numbered in both sections beginning on the east side of the section. Note that rows in the older northwest corner of the cemetery are somewhat irregular and make row assignment difficult and somewhat arbitrary.
