The open space in the middle of
the cemetery is where there were stones at one time.
Joan Kunkel transcribed the
cemetery in 1982 and it was included in Vol. IV of the Barry
County Cemetery Books. Mary and Elizabeth Homesley transcribed it
again in 1999. Soon after the 1999 work was completed, we listed
the transcription of both the north and south sides on the Barry
County web site.
Back in those days, we
didn’t know how to use shaving cream on old stones to bring
out the dates that have weathered and aged, so if you have used
dates from either of these transcriptions then you may be
surprised to find a high percentage of error content in your
records.
I want our cemetery records to
be accurate, so an attempt has been made to find all the names
and to correct all the dates with the new photo transcriptions of
2006. However, I am sure that there will be some that we have
missed or some stones that we simply cannot figure out because
they are too weathered to read.
It would be a good idea to check
your dates against the photos that we have posted. If you find
new facts that you want to add to our files, please write to
