CEMETERY NOTES

An unidentified foot marker is located next to Sallie W. Day. No initials are present, and no head marker was found.

A separate foot marker marked "F.D." stands alone without a headstone.

A double brick vault has a foot marker bearing the initials "C.S.D."

Ten or more depressions were observed in the cemetery, indicating possible unmarked graves. Approximately five had bricks placed at the head and foot of the graves.
