-----------------------------------------------------------------
The cemetery is divided into 2 parts: The "old cemetery" is located
on the north side of the road while the "new cemetery" is located on the
south side of the road. The "old cemetery" is in a beautiful spot, on top of
a shady hill. The area is isolated and quiet, very peaceful. The area is well
kept, clean and neat. This report only concerns the "old cemetery". Also
note that "(?)" means that a stone was unreadable at that point.
