Surveyed by Philip Underwood-Sheppard, June 26, 2000 This survey was written down by rows. In other surveys, where the burials are listed alphabetically, little or no indication in given as to who is buried beside who, obscuring some of the relationships. Use your "find" command to locate a surname. A date that falls somewhat between the birth and death columns would indicate that this was the only date on the stone, and I could not determine whether is was a birth or death date. "M/M" indicates "Mr. And Mrs." For the protection of those who might still be living, there are a few dates I did not include. I started at the BACK of the cemetery and worked toward the road.
