Spellings are as they appear on the stone. Where we have typed a question mark in a parenthesis "(?)" means that we are not able to determine exactly what is engraved on the stone, but have taken an educated guess: e.g., "1853(?)" means "It appears to 1853"; or "Annabelle(?)" means "It appears to be ANNABELLE." A question mark without a parenthesis "?" simply means that an alpha or numeric in a word or date cannot be exactly ascertained but again, an educated guess is made: "185?" means "eighteen- hundred-and-fifty-something"; or "Born ? 7, 1853" means "born on the 7th in an unreadable month in 1853"; or "? JONES" means "unreadable given name JONES". Most of the stones are in good-to-excellent condition); however, some stones were difficult to read having been worn from age and erosion. In addition there appear to be some graves with no markers. In all of these cases, notations are made to that affect. As with most "working" cemeteries, some markers may have been removed for maintenance or repair. In these cases, we would have no knowledge of the missing marker(s). Finally, important to note is that we are extremely careful to ensure that NO STONES ARE DAMAGED DURING THIS PROJECT. ******************************************************************************** In memory of Mrs. LYDIA widow of Mr. BENJAMIN LUCAS who died Jan 19, 1824 in her 93 year Also Mrs. HANNAH widow of Mr. BELA LUCAS died May 13, 1830 aged 80 years The memory of the just is blest.
