I visited this cemetery October 2000.

This graveyard is located on Hwy 129 one and a half miles North of Hwy 250,
on the West side of the highway.

I used the DAR list of the 1940's and Wanda Morford's list
from her cemetery book of 1980 as a guide.

Names with * were on the DAR list but when I visited I was unable to find the stone.
Names with ** were on both Wanda's list and the DAR list but I was
unable to find them when I visited.

There were 2 stones that I was unable to read so there must have been at least
5 stones that were missing.

SS=Same stone D=Daughter S=Son W=Wife
