This transcription was made by James Young, 1014 Aspen Court, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547.  I tried to ensure that the spelling in these lists is the same as on the grave markers.  I apologize for any errors.  Most of this information was obtained on September 3-4, 2004, with a follow-up visit on November 5, 2004.

For the purpose of this listing and to develop the grave reference numbers used here, the cemetery was divided into four quadrants: the northeast quadrant was numbered 1, the northwest numbered 2, the southwest numbered 3, and the southeast was numbered 4.

The names in the main listing are arranged in the approximate order of their locations.  Quadrant and row numbers were arbitrarily assigned to make it easier to locate specific graves.  The listing of names in a row always begins at the north end of that row.  The proximity of graves, as shown by the reference number sequence in the main listing, may provide clues concerning family relationships, and the alphabetical listing in the index helps to locate specific names.

 In many cases, there is a significant space between adjacent grave markers (which may or may not indicate unmarked graves), and the rows are not neatly aligned.  Information in the listing enclosed in brackets [ ] contains notes or comments and was not inscribed on the grave marker.  All information not in brackets was inscribed on the marker.

HOW TO USE

Locate a name in the alphabetical index and note the reference number.  Then scroll down to the main listing and find the complete information associated with that reference number.
