Pictures and inscriptions taken by Pamela Smith, CCGS member and Vicky Kellum, volunteer, in summer of
2007. I decided to photograph this cemetery after being close by one day – realizing these burials are someone’s
brother or son. If it helps one member, than my deed was worthwhile. I enjoyed being there as it was such a
sacred holy place to spend the afternoon with all the men who dedicated their life to God.   I am not familiar
with Latin, but you can figure out the terms pretty easily. If their name is listed as Josephus then their given
name was probably Joseph, Fridericus = Frederick, etc. Ingress = Entered.
