Macedonia Cemetery:  A listing obtained from the Bradford County Historical Society, read Oct 8, 1979 by Edna Foster Watson,  Margaret Tulk and Ellen R. Glueck was compared. Any differences from that listing are intentional, as interpreted here. Rows in this cemetery are not straight or completely filled and row assignments were necessarily subjective. Markers in most cases were easily assigned but may not be correct in all cases. They have been added as observed only as a possible further aid. MSJ
