*NOTE: I transcribed this cemetery exactly as it was recorded in 1940, and double checked the microfilm 3 times to make I didn’t have a typo. On the microfilm, Sarah is listed as dying in 1816, which isn’t possible, and John F’s death does not agree with the Harrison County Death Records book. However, since I am transcribing original records, I don’t think it would be right for me to change the entries.
