Cemetery records compiled by Shirley Cullers Miller
using headstones, field/river rocks, papers of Warren Souder and Lewis Yankey, J. Robert
Swank’s 1967 records, and through interviews with area residents. Shirley Cullers
Miller noted: Cemetery was referred to as the Thomas Cemetery, but local residents have
always called it the Fink Cemetery. In 1967 J. Robert Swank referred to it as the Siever
Cemetery and that it was fenced and in good condition.
