A few facts about this cemetery: Section 1 has the oldest burials in it starting in the 1860's and burials are still going on today. The sexton reports that there are over 20,000 burials. His records are on cards and do not have all the information that is on the stones. Some of the burials are not in the card file and as Tami is finding them she is giving them to the sexton. She is also going through the card file to add people when stones are not available for reading. The card file from the sexton's records have been microfilmed and the film is at the MTU archives for viewing.
