Transcriber comments: Someone first transcribed this cemetery in the '60s and the historical society used that person's work and then updated cemeteries in the county. Many stones are now quite worn. Spellings were verified with the historical society book since they read the stones when they were in better shape. According to the historical society book, there are five stones I either couldn't find or they are stones I can't read. There is also one stone face down and buried in the ground. They are: Gertrude M. Ball; Virginia Jordan; Sarah Emma Elrod; Argosy P. Lytle; William H. Marshall. |
