This information comes from the book "Stone Cities" by Donald B. Wentworth. Names in BOLD have had photos submitted to the Gravestone Photo Project. I hope if you are able to visit the cemetery, you will consider taking photos and submitting them. You can also email me and I can do the submissions for you. Please email with any corrections or additions as well.

NOTE: Due to the ambiguity of the records, one or two of the burial listed for this cemetery may be actually in Rathbun/West Union Center Cemetery.
