LOST GRAVES

The cemetery began in 1845.  Graves were marked with petrified wood, glass, rocks, etc.  Time and the elements destroyed many grave markers and the graves were lost.  Their loved ones aged and died, too.  Therefore, we have a list of lost graves.

Franklin County Geneaology researched using birth and death records, obituaries, word of mouth, etc. to create this list of lost graves.
