I visited in May 2001, took pictures, and transcribed the
inscriptions. To maintain privacy and courtesy, persons recently
buried are noted but unnamed. I have included below a very rough
sketch of the location of the various graves. I am no artist. This
drawing is not to scale and is only approximate. Return to Page Menu
