The black portion of the cemetery was surveyed in 1938 during the DAR survey. For a record of those graves, see black survey. On the map below, the black sections are primarily in sections 5, 15, 18, 19, 20 and F. It is also included below. Reviewing both lists will provide extended information. The DAR survey included tombstone inscriptions which the listing below does not.

This ends the detail for Book 1 of the cemetery's records.
Looking at what I'll call book 1 of the records, 3 very important fields were left out of the first 7290 records. I'll be going back and including them as time permits. These fields are Place of Birth, Late Residence, Date of Birth. The fields previously included and not having any entries nor even in the book are Age-Years, Age-Months, Age-Days. Additionally any adjustments of other info will be notated with an 'updated' icon and a date which will stay in place at least 30 days, perhaps longer. - Tim Stowell - 26 Oct 2000.

My hard drive crashed on 10/23. I lost the records review for records 3001 thru 3600. So, I had to do those again but in doing so I've now completed a review of the 7290 records and will be updating those files in the coming weeks. - Tim Stowell - 26 Nov 2002
