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.

The cemetery can be defined as having five sections.  Three large sections: North (N,) South (S) and South-Addition (SA); and two small sections at the west end of the larger sections:  Northwest (NW,) Southwest (SW).  For purposes of this listing, rows were numbered beginning on the west side of each section.
