***********************************************************************

Directions to cemetery: From US 301, take SE 219 Avenue East (Island 
Grove Post Office is located on this corner).  Go straight at curve, 
proceed 1.5 miles. After passing the 2nd road to the left, immediately 
take the next dirt road to the right, .4 miles to dead end.

The survey was taken from the front row to the back.  At the end of 
each row, we returned to the fence to begin the next row.

There are at least eight graves of veterans from various wars buried in 
the Carlton.  The data contained in "other data" of the veterans 
includes information from the WPA list of veterans graves, (including 
grave number) which they made in 1940-1941.  There are a number of 
unmarked graves, and some with unreadable funeral home markers.  The 
oldest birth date located was 1827 (William T. Carlton), while the 
oldest death date was 1872 (Annie Adella Carlton).

This cemetery is sometimes referred to as "The Old Sykes Cemetery".  No 
research has been done to determine the history of this property.  It 
is well maintained.
