ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
 
 
     A debt of gratitude is owed to Mrs. Alice West, Mrs  
Marionette West, Mr. Ben Borden and Mr. Paul Brown for their  
assistance in providing a wealth of information.  A very 
special thanks is due for Messers Homer Buck and James 
Sterling for their unselfish efforts in locating long 
forgotten cemeteries and then taking me to those sites. 
 
     Grateful appreciation is also extended to members of Boy  
Scout Troop 113 in general and to Mark Cook in particular for  
collecting data and copying inscriptions from cemeteries. 
 
     Needless to say, none of this work would have ended in  
success had it not been for my wife, Esther Marie, whose  
encouragement, assistance, and patience kept me going.
