COMMENTS:

This is the information off of the stones that was still readable (with the help of the DAR list of 1941).
There were footstones for most of the graves and there was one stone that was not readable.
This note was on the 1941 DAR list: "Bassett, Laura (buried recently-no stone) (Laura Thornton Voris Bassett)"
