Blue Branch Cemetery was established in 1875 according to a sign over the entrance gate. A driveway encircles the property and divides the cemetery into three sections. The oldest burials, in very irregular rows, are in the large center section. Every effort was made to list the burials in order, but often it was necessary to copy two rows as one.
Some funeral markers and old tombstones were impossible to read, therefore, information from a recording done in 1976 was used. There were some stones copied in 1976 that were not located in 1991, but could be the unmarked graves or unreadable stones recorded today. In that case, those 1976 burials will be listed at the end of this list. Tombstone inscriptions in this cemetery were originally copied November 1976 by Jane P. McManus, and redone in October 1991 by Jane McManus and Mary Partain. New burial information was added 17 January 1995.
