There is also a transcription from 1972, but I don't believe it is posted on the web -- yet. If anyone who is in a geographically more desirable location to visit the cemetery than I am, I would be willing to compile a listing of the graves from the two transcriptions so that there is a starting list. Then, if someone would like to spend a day or two walking through the cemetery, the information could be verified and preserved for the future. With so many of the graves being stone "crypts" in which the moisture just sits on, it is easy to see why it had faded over time. Both transcriptions have inaccuracies or else the transcription does not clearly/fully describe what is on the gravestones. I would add notes from my records to help in the process (i.e. marriages, parents names, etc.). And then of course we would make it fully available upon completion. Valerie
