Index to "Cemeteries of Valley City, Barnes County, ND" 2003,--G. L. Barron This index contains all of the names that appear in the 244 page 8.5 x 11 inch volume. This new volume contains all of the marker inscriptions, and burials without markers taken from cemetery records for around 8,000 burials. When searching, be aware that a few of the names are followed by an asterisk, such as Johnson*. This indicates that the marker did not contain the surname that was assumed from a nearby family stone. The name could not be confirmed by cemetery records or by other means. A few are followed by a question mark, ?, to indicate that we were dobutful of the surname chosen.
