Comparing the two, the 1933 list contains a number of typos. Perhaps the original source was handwritten or otherwise hard to read. Typos aside, all the 1933 entries can be found in the new list... which suggests that none of the 1933 gravestones have been removed or become unreadable since then. The earliest gravestones date to the early 1890's. The site of the 1840's Sheldon mission (log cabin) church and cemetery is believed to be nearby, according to a monument next to the Bartz Rd. cemetery. However, I am not aware of any traces of the pioneer cemetery that can be found today. The 1933 list does not mention any either, nor does the St. Cecilia's FHL microfilm. I write: Thank you for the information identifying the 1933 list as that of St Cecelia's South. I transcribe exact what was in the old record. Nothing is altered. Gertrude A. Berber was a traveling and prolific genealogy compiler in New York. She had many books of extractions. All her books were typewritten. Not all of her books are at the FHL and not all her books that are at the FHL are microfilmed. This particular book was found at the New York Public Library at in Astor-Ford Collection. W.
