"GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"
Original Listing August 10, 2002, by Rosa
Cline
Updated Aug 26, 2009
This is a partial
listing of people interred at this cemetery.
One of my online fellow researchers and a dear friend has transcribed
(or is transcribing) this cemetery. He is where I got the burial plot numbers
on those noted below.
I have obits for some of the people, if anyone would like a copy.
I have made an alphabetical listing before the actual transcriptions below.
Beside each name I have noted if I have an obit ( obit
) , a headstone photo (hd pic ), or an actual
photo ( pic ), or
newspaper article ( art ) for
that person. If you have found my name with a note of having an obit on a
previous listing I can not guarantee I still have it unless it is noted below.
I still have lots of things I’ve not found and added in. But I can not
guarantee anyone copies of anything I have, but I will share with you’ll what I
have. So if you would like me to share with you, or you share extra data please
feel free to contact me. However, please have the respect to not contact me to
complain when I don’t have what you request. I will be trying to update this listing as I
have time for, and when I do I will put an “*” beside the newest data entered.
(Even if the name has already been there from a listing before if I have *
beside I have added data or corrected data there.) I also try and not list
anyone that their death is more recent than 6 mths or
so, unless I personally knew them. Out of respect for them and their family I
try and wait half a year for their mourning process. So most “new” deaths will
not be listed. However if you have a family member you want added I will add
them in.
I live too far away from this cemetery to actually do any look
ups. These listings are made from either obits or data given to me by other
family or researchers. On some of the below I have made a note of their burial
plot numbers and row etc. This came from a fellow researcher and friend, Phil
Smiley. He has transcribed this cemetery and have
shared this data with me.
I will be more than happy to share with you what information I
have on the people listed below, but I cannot do physical look ups. If you
would like to send me data on your family or friends buried at this cemetery, I
would be more than happy to accept and add the data into my listings. Please
feel free to contact me.
I hope this listing helps these people to always be remembered. To
try and help folks to always be remembered when they have gone on before us is
the main reason I do what I do. And helping folks find family or friends in the
process is a good plus as well.
