We first thought about just making a list of all marked Civil War veteran s graves in the county, since many people are interested in that war. That would just involve walking over each cemetery looking for Civil War soldiers. Then we realized that the veterans of other wars and those that served in peace-time also made a valuable contribution. We then abandoned the first idea and just decided to update the cemetery records and include all military information that was recorded at the grave sites. This information is included in the remarks section of each cemetery record.
Information is recorded as it appears on the marker, even if it appears to be misspelled.
Double and triple markers mean those that are attached to one base. Funeral home markers are usually listed as metal markers in remarks column. Graves marked by rocks, petrified wood, concrete, etc. Driving directions to each cemetery are given in a simple way so that most people can locate them without too much trouble. This is not intended to replace the earlier records.
