This is a complete survey by Pam Thomas-Cantrell (
thomgirl57@alltel.net ) and Louise Thomas-Miller (
lukielou52@aol.com ), taken on Dec. 15, 2004. Pam's 4
year old granddaughter, Sharli,  also "helped". All names
were spelled as written on the tombstones.

Many of these stones seemed to be handmade but were very
readable.
