"PLOT" indicates a marker or group of markers numbered by the Terrys. The plot numbers tend to group members of a family.
(Burials occurring after plot numbering was completed have confounded the numerical order, but have not affected numbering as a tool to find families.)(ASTERISK) * = data provided by SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX (SSDI).
Comments in quotes are data taken from ENGRAVINGS ON STONES.
Comments without quotes = COMMENTS BY THE TERRYS.
Most inscribed dates have been changed to DAY-MONTH-YEAR order.
