I visited this cemetery November 18, 2002.

Many of the markers are gone or beyond being readable. Photos submitted April 24, 2006, by Janice Holzer

*Due to the fact that so many of the old markers are no longer legible & or gone, in June 2009, using earlier 1962 survey info from the Union County Genealogical Society & a survey done by Ralph O. Weldon in 1998, I have made corrections & up dates to my survey below, & noted (*) those used.
