NOTES:

• This cemetery was transribed March 19, 2000 by Joyce M. Ranieri. It is in horrendous condition! Many stones are broken and lying flat on the ground. There is a pile of footstones in a lilac bush. There do not appear to be any names or dates on them, but I can't read them all. Two of them read: Jenette and Father. I hope to add photographs during the summer of 2001.
• This transcription was compared to one compiled by V. Wolfe in Sept. 1983. Discrepencies are indicated in red.
