Old Fields Part 2

Old Fields Part 3

 

This is a larger cemetery than many on this site. Therefore I have grouped graves in sections.

If you wish to know an exact layout of a particular family or grave please write me at dnwalsh@aol.com

 

Please feel free to use any of the photos shown for your personal records.  However, you may not use them for publishing or profit in any way without my written permission.  Thank you.  

Click on any photo below for a full size version. All transcriptions are exactly as they appear on the stone. Unreadable sections are indicated by [ ] with the closest approximation of what I believe it had said. If you get a "hit" please let me know so I will know this is a project worth continuing. dnwalsh@aol.com

This cemetery is located on Vine Street.
