These records are neither complete nor extremely accurate, due to the fact that they were personal business records. We have in cross checking with cemetery records found some errors in the location given in these records as the place of burial. This may be due to the fact that many burials were attended to by the family involved, and the person filling out these records was either misinformed or guessed at the location. We have found that all other information listed in these records is accurate. Of course there is the common error as in all records of this sort, in the misspelling of the names. All the names transcribed here in are listed as they were in the original record.

The compilers are Richard E. Preator Jr. and Ethel M. Preator (Gudde)
