For locating a grave site by surname or by location ID:

1   Understanding the "Location ID" Example Location ID = 1P4/12 (for OLD Sect. 1)      1 = Cemetery Section or Part No. (currently one of 3)      P = Block No. (from Blk. Chart & round granite markers)      4 = Row No.      /12 = Space or Grave No.    Section 1 is the OLD Section.    "P" borders; Blk. "Q & K", North fence & driveway    Row numbers start at bottom of blk. (N.E. Corner), facing west, then next row number will be #2, #3, etc., going west    Space No.; may be Available (open), Reserved, Occupied, Unknown, Unavailable    Spaces are numbered north to south, or right to left, facing west, beginning at the north end of each row number on the block    Use Block Chart to help locate the block corners with the 3" round granite markers at ground level Example Location ID = 2B16/02 (for Sect. 2 & 3)      2 = Cemetery Section or Part No. (currently one of 3)      B = Block No. (from Blk. Chart & round granite markers)      16 = Lot No. (either a 12' X 25' or 24' X 25' Lot)      /02 = Space or Grave No.    Section 2 is east of main driveway to church & road.    As on Sect. 2 & 3 block chart    As on Sect. 2 & 3 block chart    Either 5 or 10 spaces per lot 2.  Block Charts      a. Sect. 1 is the Old Section - Use 11" X 17" chart for OLD sect. to locate the Block No. wanted      b.
