This is an old, fairly well-kept Cemetery. Some of the markers need repairs or replacement. Also, there are graves marked by fieldstone with no identification. Spelling of names is the same as the spelling on the markers. Parenthetical notes are those of the transcriber and Paul Hays paulhays@verizon.net
