All errors that are contained are mine and mine alone.  I tried to transcribe
the information contained in the aforementioned cemetary to the best of my knowledge,
but eyes can only read so much.

The majority of the stones within this cemetery were very worn and a few were
broken in half, thanks to both natural and unnatural causes.  There may in fact
be more gravestones contained within the cemetery, but there is a lush green
ground-cover which makes finding ground stones nearly impossible.  If you know
for a fact that there is a grave in this cemetery that is not listed here,please
let me know.  Or, if anyone would like a more detailed explanation of any one
gravestone, I would be more than happy to give any extra details.
Simply e-mail me.

Note: w/o denotes 'wife of'.
