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 below, or of any incorrect information whatsoever, I would be grateful for your assistance. Please send me an e-mail and let me know. -George Pickersgill

Section and Row definitions. 

For reference, arbitrary sections were defined for this listing.  The "North" section lies within the bounds of the “U” shaped access lane to the north of the center lane and the "South" section lies to the south of the center lane of the service road.  Rows were numbered in both sections beginning on the north side of the section.
