Important Note! The publication does not indicate why this cemetery survey was conducted. It appears that the surveyor was checking the condition of the cemeteries, and that in most cases the earliest graves in these cemeteries were the target. Some of the cemeteries are named, others are not. All notes added by the transcriber appear in [brackets].
