Foreston Cemetery

The plot locations (as determined by Clarence and Donna Ihns) are noted by row and location within the row. The rows run perpendicular to the road in front of the cemetery and are numbered from East (1) to West (19). The location within the row starts with number one (#1) at the back (South) end of the row.

All information contained in this list was gathered with the best of intentions and any errors or omissions were not intentional. Substantiated corrections, comments, or additions may be sent to the County Coordinator  and will be incorporated.
