The society is still interested in locating information on all cemeteries in Fayette Co. to compile listings for publication in its quarterly journal. Of particular interest is collecting information on individuals whose burial locations were changed. Where were they originally interred and where located later? If you would like to contribute information to this project, please contact Debbie Steuart. A current comprehensive alphabetic list of Fayette County cemetery names is available through Index of Fayette County Cemeteries. The list can also be viewed by cemetery type.
