This is my attempt to document and identify the known visible and nonvisible graves located in this cemetary for historical as well as genealogical purposes. Anyone able to identify the unmarked and unidentifiable graves, please contact me. #251-246-0018 or email: tsavchap@webtv.net

I began listing the graves starting from the church yard and beginning the first row from the hwy. moving toward the back of the church and toward the masonic lodge with each subsequent row. Some are in obvious groupings and I will seperate these groups. I WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TRY TO AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE RECORD THIS INFORMATION BUT, PLEASE FORGIVE ANY ERRORS AND PLEASE NOTIFY ME OF ANY NOTED. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.
