This cemetery is an old listing from the LaPorte County Cemeteries.The original listing that notes were taken from is very difficult to read. This cemetery will be read at a later date and corrections will be made after confirmations of dates and inscriptions are viewed. Notes added under "Additional Comments" column contain both personal notes added by transcriber at cemetery site and some tombstone readings. I was able to get a few more dates, from some of the newer stones, while photographing this cemetery.
