The following list is a sincere attempt to show all known graves using several different sources and periodically updated headstone photographs. There may be other graves which are unknown/unlisted due to missing, unreadable, destroyed, or broken markers.

If you have knowledge of any other graves which may not be shown here, or of any incorrect information whatsoever, I would be grateful for your assistance. Drop me an email and let me know. Please avoid however, notifying me of very recent burials that do not appear here. I will capture and incorporate these on the next scheduled cemetery update.

Sections and Rows.
The cemetery has wooden post markers indicating Lots 1 through 5, with numbers starting on the west side.  (There are a relatively few surviving headstones or memorials in the two older sections, 1 and 2.)  For purposes of this work, rows were numbered starting at the east edge of the cemetery in Section 5 and continued to the west edge of Section 3.  No assignment of row numbers was attempted in Sections 1 and 2 due to the scattered nature of the remaining stones.
