STACKER CEMETERY
From Gary Matthews take Highway 48/13 9 miles to Southside Road. Turn left go 3.7 miles to Devers Road. Turn right, go .9 mile to house #4901.
Cemetery is behind the house, back in the woods, past the new graveyard.
We try to keep families grouped together. If someone's last name is listed, it means they have a separate headstone. If it is not listed, they are sharing a headstone with someone else. Sometimes
children are on the same headstone as parents.
Since we do not personally know these families, if we aren't sure of a relationship we list who they are buried next to. Any help matching folks with their relatives will be greatly appreciated.
The information is exactly as it appears on the stones. If you know the person's full name, please let us know.
