Reading a series
of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like
reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the
local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other,
were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together
and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic
order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and
for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page
for the cemetery's obituaries.
