*When Blair returned to the cemetery in the summer of 2001, he discovered something that he had overlooked on his first trip. "I went out to take a picture of the cemetery, and when I drove into the parking lot I noticed a small plaque on a post. It read Built By Edward Morris 12-12-74, followed by a list of names and numbers. While I was looking at it, a lady drove up and asked if she could help me. She said that the plaque was a list of unmarked graves and that Edward Morris was her uncle. She gave me his telephone number so I called him and learned that he and other older people made the list from memory in 1974, then placed a small bronze number at each grave. He said some of the bronze numbers have vanished over the years. They did not list any dates." Following is the list that is on the plaque:
