Turn on Mt. Ararat Church Road and follow to Longfield Cemetery Road. Cemetery is located on the left in iron fenced-in area. This is a very old cemetery and most of the markers are in pieces and on the ground. These were read to the best of our abilities. Some markers we had to piece together to get information and others we dug pieces out of the ground. In "MISC INFO" column, "ho" means husband of, and "wo" means wife of. If there was a veterans marker, it is noted in the MISC INFO with rank and branch of service and where served as shown on the actual marker. "WOW" is abbreviation for Woodmen of the World emblem or marker =============================================================================================== ================================================================================================= LAST FIRST MID.
