NOTE ABOUT BURIAL:

This plot Sec. E, Row 228 is a high profile area right at the intersection of adjoining roads below the chapel. The cemetery lists 9 burials in what is probably a 12 space plot. Only one stone remains today in this plot and it belongs to David and Martha Jane Wayne.

Erasmus B. Hicks can be found in Space 1.
Frances Knepfler can be found in Space 2.
There is a Child Watts in Space 3.
Nathan Knepfler can be found in Space 4. The cemetery spells the name Knephler.
Space 5 appears to have no burial.
David Wayne is in Space 6.
Martha Jane Sayles Wayne is in Space 7.
Calvin H. Young is in Space 8.
Ben F. Bennett is in Space 9.
Mattie Bennett is in Space 10.

It is unclear if any of these other burials ever had a stone. This is an older section of the cemetery and the vast majority of old stones are still intact for the most part.
