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.

Section and Rows
Cemetery is in a rectangular area bounded by a service road on all sides.  The majority of the cemetery consists of the original plat and is herein referred to as the "South" section.  Along the northwest part of the South section are a few newer burials in an area called the "North" section.  Along the south edge of the original plat is a new section referred to as "South/NLA" -- very few burials here at the present time.

Rows were numbered beginning at the east side of the cemetery and are numbered the same in each section. (as if there was no section divisions.)

1726  View from the west side of the cemetery.
1852  Veteran's memorial at base of flagpole.

Transcriptions taken from the headstones photos and a prior listing (author unknown.)
