It lists the name, birth date (if known), death date (if known) and location of all people buried in this cemetery. Additionally, there are names of 173 persons who were buried therein, but later to other cemeteries. The society offers look-ups in its cemetery book for a nominal fee (average is $5) to cover costs of the packet it sends out, which usually includes one page of text per person, a map of the lot/lots, map of the cemetery, title page of the book and lists of sources. It asks for information from those who request information in order to add data to future printings of its Columbia Cemetery book. http://www.rootsweb.com/~bgs/columbia_intro.html 2d.
