Stopped by the Lawton Cemetery today and yes, the couple who are shown to be buried in the Snyder-Rush Cemetery were buried there. I have 2 thoughts as to the name: one being that maybe this piece of ground was originally part of a farm formerlly owned by a family named Snyder and they were some of the first burials there (be it in a marked or unmarked grave) or that someone named Snyder donated the land years back for a public cemetery. (Within my lineage there was a privately owned cemetery known by our family name...when they incorporated and become a public cemetery they changed the name even though the board of directors were made up of most or all family members) It does appear that land has been added onto it from the original cemetery (notice the grouping of dates). I did notice what appeared to be some very old tombstones near the back on the far left but did not go checking names on them. Whatever the case may be...it appears that the Lawton Cemetery is what is also referred to as the Snyder Rush Cemetery for what its worth!

I recently came across a name of a person who is buried in Snyder Rush, and will check it out at the "Lawton Cemetery". Will let you know if they are there....
