SOURCE OF INFORMATION: JCGS members compiled an index for the cemetery in 1985. This information came from a combination of walking the cemetery and sexton 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 Elsie Lopeman were extracted and are identified in the report. A copy of the records held by Elsie Lopeman through 2003 are in the JCGS Library and should be consulted as they contain additional genealogical information.
- The cemetery was walked, making note of those with markers and any information contained on the markers was entered in the report.
- The current list combines all the work done in 1984 and 2005.
As is true with all compiled records, errors may have occurred. It is suggested that you verify the information.
