Vorhies Cemetery
Trenton Twp., Henry County, SW 1/4 Section 19

NOTE:  This cemetery is not in Jefferson County but is just across the county line in neighboring Henry County, just east of the Four Corners and New Sweden area in Lockridge Township. We are including it on our site because there are people from Jefferson County who are buried there.

While compiling the cemetery listings to provide you with as much information as possible we found it necessary to add an INDEX TO SOURCE INFORMATION. We have made special effort to show from which source the information was obtained in order for you to document the information.

Since this information has been transcribed several times and its accuracy may be flawed we encourage you to verify this information with all primary information available to you. Note that there are two spellings of VORHIES... some stones have Vorheis while others use the more common Vorhies.

INDEX TO SOURCE INFORMATION:
