Thanks to much hard work and donations from a few, the area has again attained a respectable appearance. It is our belief the date from this cemetery should be preserved. Therefore, we have copied each marker and every effort was made to record the material correctly. There will surely be some errors and we would appreciate being corrected. There are many unmarked graves on the East side so additions to this list need to be made.
