This cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale on 5 Feb
1999. We were on site after dark on 30 Jan 2003 to record the
GPS Coordinates. We were there again on 12 Apr 2003 and did a
fast re-walk taking information from new markers and new burials.
Sadly, there are some older funeral home markers that will not
be replaced with permanent markers. We also did a re-walk of
the cemetery adding new burials on 8 Jan 2004 and noting marker
changes."
