Burials survey by Bob Carter in October 2002 and resurveyed (with grave photos) by Bob Carter in Sept 2011. Additional information as to the parents of the deceased, or given names where initials are on the graves, etc., has been added and is based on research of birth, marriage, and death records as well as census records. Thanks to Judy Cardwell who has done extensive work on the STANLEY line and Sherry Poindexter, both of whom provided names, dates, and ancestral links to many of these burials, including some with no dates on the graves.
