Source of Information: JCGS members compiled an index for the cemetery in 1985. This information came from a combination of walking the cemetery and funeral home records. In 1985 no distinction was made between information found in the records as opposed to seen on the walk through. In 2005 JCGS completed an update to these records.  The Sexton Records held by the Baileys were extracted and are identified in the index.The cemetery was walked, making note of those with markers and any information contained on the markers was entered in the index.The current index combines all the work done in 1985 and 2005. As is true with all indexes that are a compilation of records, errors may have occurred. It is suggested that you verify the information.
