I have been very careful to spell the names as they appear on the stones
and written whatever could be read, I even formatted it as it was on the
marker. I think it very important that we honor the people that took the
time to design these markers and let them keep their names as they wrote
them. It may be easier to fit people into a family tree if the name was
spelled differently after the passing of one, but please if you have a
question about something, email me: hertime@earthlink.net.

The names following where not found by me, the marker is no longer there.
The following comes from a D.A.R. record taken sometime around 1929 - although
some of the stones I found are not in the D.A.R. report. I do not know
the reason for this. Thanks, Lisa
