All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.org/copyright.shtml *********************************************************** (compiled by Jane Hartley) This a listing of all readable markers and names of people remembered to be buried here by Charley Mathews (neighbor and volunteer normally responsible for grave digging) and Douglas family (which lived across the road)in August of 1986 and those added up until February 1998. There are additional graves which never had markers or for which markers have been destroyed but we have no way of identifying them. You may locate records to show burial without names being on this list. Any such findings would be welcome to update this list.
