Inscriptions were recorded at various times in the 1970's and 1990's by Wilson and Grace Davis, and Betty and Ray Terry.
Additions and corrections contributed by Lorraine Gregg (LG), Rose Ridgeway & Joeanne Sammons 1/13/99.

Photographs were taken by Chris & Paula Wimmer 11 June 2003.

"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.
