Every effort
was made to record as many burials as possible. The order of burial records
are starting from the upper hill side of the cemetery at entrance by road.
Starting at first row to the end near the hedge, then recording from the
hedge back toward the road. In 1960 Elmer Lockwood recorded the headstone
inscriptions given to him by the Middaugh family who were the owners of
this cemetery at that time. His records have been used as a reference
only to help record unmarked graves or inscription errors for this record.
Dora Pope Worden also recorded inscriptions from headstones around Tompkins
Co., Morris Chapel cemetery was one she recorded in the 1920's. Her
work has also been used as a reference.
Please
take note: All records
below are recorded to the best of our ability. When reading the old inscriptions
that are worn, weathered, and broken it is very hard at times todetermine
dates. Once time has gone by for many years some headstones are just
too hard to transcribe the inscriptions. We have tried to re-check
all headstones for the best reading that is possible. Many 4's now
look like 1's, many 8 look like 3's, and even some 5's are now looking
like 2's. We hope anyone that may view these records will understand
if mistakes on the inscriptions are found. It is our hope to preserve
the history of the people that are buried here. When more information
could be found on those buried here, it is written under the notes for
that burial.
Thank
you Bonnie Lamkin for transcribing the original records of Dora Pope Worden.
Cemetery Records are from walking in this cemetery to record
the headstone inscriptions on June 18, 2001
by Janet M. Nash & Cathy Knauff. Re-checked May 2003 by Janet M. Nash
We found many unmarked graves where the headstones have broken,
fallen, or only the base is left.
