Transcribed by Renee Smelley on July 25, 26 and August 18, 2001

Note: Because this cemetery is located about 4 miles from the Gregg County line vital records may be found in both Harrison and Gregg County.  This cemetery was very difficult to read because there seemed to be no true rows.  I went back and found one short row that I missed.  It is very possible that there may be a few from this cemetery that were not recorded on this transcription.  If you have additions or corrections for this cemetery transcription please contact me at [email protected]
