NOTE: Always verify dates and spelling yourself. This census is intended to be a research aid only. If the date or name was chiseled onto the stone and it is not correct, there is nothing we can do about it. If you send us an e-mail, we can put the corrected name or date to the side of that entry. If you find an error that we have made, please send an e-mail to me, and I will change the entry after verifying the information. If you know of any unmarked graves in this cemetery, please contact us.
