It is under perpetual care.” “The cemetery has three main sections, each of which is covered in with a well manicured lawn. The newest section contains only a few burials, leaving much room for future. I found the cemetery in excellent condition." “I compared my work with an older reading of this cemetery done in 1973 by Wes & Carrie Lartigue. I found no stone for entries followed by an * asterisk. These listings came from their work and I cannot vouch for their accuracy.” “I have transcribed from the headstone readings acquired when I walked and read this cemetery, using a digital camera on Jul 03, 2006. Some added from obits after this date.”
