OLIVET CEMETERY, TIER SECTION Since a portion of this cemetery was not subdivided into lots and blocks, it is rather difficult to explain the locations of the graves. Burials were placed side by side in a row or Tier. Unfortunately, the rows or Tiers were not always straight; and sometimes it is difficult to determine in which Tier the grave belongs. There are eleven of these Tiers in the cemetery. For this reason, we have included the following listing showing the order of the graves which are located in the "Tier" section. Beginning in the southwest corner of each Tier: TIER ONE CRAIG, Charles S.
