If anyone has information on any of the above, I would be happy to add it to this Cemetery listing.

I'm sure that there have many others added since this survey was completed, and remember, the WPA Surveyor  was only supposed to list those graves BEFORE 1914.   So even in 1940 there could have been others there.
