The following list is an attempt to show all known graves, using using photographs of the headstones (checked against a transcription by Ernie Lasley.)  Notes were supplemented with marriage and census records plus genealogy records.  There probably are unmarked graves plus a few unknown due to missing, unreadable, destroyed or broken markers.   Another version of this document with photographs of the headstones is available from the Cemeteries with photos page.
If you have knowledge of any other graves which may not be shown below, please drop us an e-mail and let us know.
