There are extant inscriptions showing deaths as early as June 1813, and there is reason to believe burials were made prior to that date. The following tombstone records were copied in August 1948, at which time the grounds were somewhat overgrown, many stones had fallen, and others were piled against the stone wall which surrounds the plot. Burials have been made for which we have no record. It was noted that "other stones were laying about the grounds, some entirely weathered, others broken and separated from original sites". This listing was published in the March 1949 issue of "Historical Wyoming". In response to an inquiry in 1998, the Deputy County Historian, Doris Bannister, drove to the cemetery in an attempt to locate a marker for Peleg PECK, a Revolutionary War Veteran. At this time, there are 3 grave sites marked with G.A.R. markers. One is for the grave of Charles Melven. In an effort to check the records, the historian also went back to the original transcript of the cemetery, compiled by Harry S. Douglass. In doing so, she noticed that there were at least 7 entries that were not typed in March 1949, and that others had additional data or different data. In light of this, the information has been added which was not on the 1949 list. * * * * * -A- ANDREWS, Mary See: FARNHAM -B- BAILEY, Andrew 7 Aug 1826 3y 8m, Son of Freeman & Maria BAILEY, Elizabeth 4 Aug 1814 47 yrs., Wife of Dea.
