Transcription Notes
Sunset Memorial Cemetery is owned and maintained by the town of Warden, and operates under a Cemetery Board. It is in excellent condition.

The beautiful shrubs and trees around the perimeter add to the beauty of it. Most stones are the new flat type, which lend nothing to photography, or ease of reading.

I started this cemetery and got rained out, so had to wait until I could return to finish it. I found many illegible stones, and I am sure there are also missing markers or stones for some burial sites.

I read this cemetery on May 21 and Jun 04, 2005, using my digital camera. This includes all existing stones and markers to that date.
