COMPILERS: This project could not be completed without the help of many people: In 1985 Elsie Lopeman. In 2005 Jerry Hamilton, Harlean Hamilton, and Bev Brice.

 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. In 2012 JCGS conducted another cemetery walk.

• The Sexton Records were extracted and are identified in the record.
• The cemetery was walked, making note of those with markers and any information contained on the markers was entered in the index.
• Special note: A copy of the list from the 1998 walk through done by the Boy Scout troop # 1480 is available in the JCGS Library.
• Digital photos of graves are available on CD in JCGS Library.
• The current listing combines the work done in 1985, 2005 and 2012.

 As is true with all compiled records, errors may have occurred. It is suggested that you verify the information.
