What you will find here is a numerical list of the EXACT wording and lettering from each stone in the cemetery. In many instances, mistakes were made in the cutting of the stone. These mistakes were recorded as all information must be recorded AS IS on the stone. In most cases, obvious mistakes were followed by (?). ie: 1867-1823 (?)
All footstones were recorded as stones may not necessarily be up to date. See example below to read as seen on stone.
"In Memory of/MOTHER/EMILY/DIED MAY 3, 1865/AGED 67 YRS./FATHER/JAMES/DIED JULY 14, 1859/AGED 58 YRS./REST IN PEACE/WALKER"
