Thank you, Dovie A. Kaupke for providing this list. She writes, "There are quite a few graves in this cemetery that do not have headstones. Inez Reynolds, a descendant of many of those buried in this cemetery was responsible for putting many of the headstones up and the chain link fence around this cemetery. She told me before she died that there were several slaves buried in this cemetery, but she did not know their names. She put stones up for everyone she remembered their names."
If you have any questions about this cemetery, please contact Dovie Kaupke.
