Burials and Interments
I have found a number of errors in the original transcription of this data. If you have more accurate information on the individuals interred here, please submit it to me and I will make the notation.
The records transcribed did not indicate the year of death as 1800 or 1900. Since most burials occurred after 1900, most of these are probably 1900 burials. They were left without the century to avoid errors.
This is a partial listing.
UPDATE: The caretaker of this cemetery has contacted me regarding inaccuracies in this cemetery. I have temporarily removed the names.
