C o m m e n t s:Rules of Cemeteries are to be observed with reverence, when visiting in these cemeteries. Do not take rubbings, or any other method to get the information off the stones, even the acid from your hands, is destructive to the stones. In time it will destroy the surface of the stone where it, in time will not be readable. The best way to obtain data from the stone, is to purchase a camera at the store and take pictures close up. So that you have and can preserve the data from off the stones. Contact proper authorities for Services and Flag, placements.

Note:In cemeteries it is reasonable to have visitor registration booths, placements where the outside visitors may leave, comments, as to who they are looking for, and contact as to how they can be reached. For other means it is reasonable to contact the Historian for the town and or County, should one be assigned. Other means is the Federal snail Mail contact as shown.
