COMPLETE
TRANSCRIPTION
Driving Directions: Coming from Hwy 412 you will turn onto Hwy
21 like you're going to Kingston. You
will drive that about 7 miles until you hit Kingston Square. You will go straight and follow Hwy 74 (21 turns
into 74 at Kingston) you will drive about 5 miles and the cemetery will be on
your right up in a field. There isn't
much parking at all, so you'll have to be careful. If you drive onto Lower Wharton Creek Cemetery you've gone too
far (so turn around and go back.)
Another way from
Huntsville is take Hwy 23 out of Huntsville about 4 miles and you will turn to
your left onto Hwy 74 you will then drive about 9 miles and the Lane Cemetery
will be on your left in a field. You
will pass a charcoal plant, and Lower Wharton Creek Cemetery along the
way.... If you drive onto Kingston
Cemetery then you've gone to far and then turn around and follow the above
directions :0)
It is said that there
are about 10-15 people buried in this cemetery, who once had field rocks as
their stones but one of the land owners threw them away to use the field for
planting. If anyone knows of who these
people are please contact us so we can give them an accurate burial
reconiztion.
We have taken headstone
pictures of just about all the stones out there... and still working on getting
the rest... so if anyone would like to request a scanned picture just contact
us. I have tried listing all the people out there in an alphabetic order before
the transcriptions, sometimes I do leave people out (no meaning to) so if you
are looking for someone and they aren't listed at first scroll down through the
transcriptions and see if they are there.
When I did this transcription I tried speaking with a few people who
have given me added data and that is included in ( ), I know there are still
many out there in unmarked graves...so will be trying to find their identities
before my next update.
We have tried to include
added data as we found it or as people have told us. Under the transcriptions anything in ( ) is stuff we either know
about that person from our personal research, stuff off the internet, or from
an obit. So please only use the "extra" stuff as a guide line for
your own research. Unless they are our
family members then we will not be responsible for the accuratcy of the
information, (since you don't usually know where the person who got it before
you got it from. )
We have tried to read
the stones as accuratly as possible trying to read even the poems and
inscriptions on the bottom. So if
anyone knows of anyone buried out there that isn't on the list please contact
us so we can accuratly document them. Thanks!
