Pictures of Stones have been Taken & Submitted by Cindy Ford The pictures were taken between October 4, 2004 & December 8, 2004

Many volunteers have worked very hard to provide the researchers of Jefferson County a listing of Cemeteries and to provide pictures of headstones to help you in your personal research.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE the cemetery listings and pictures that others have worked so hard to provide and add it to any other website as your own.

Thank You for understanding and respecting the work of others.

All names followed by **** in comments are from Oakwood Cemetery Records. Dates from their records may be burial dates and not actual death dates, I have added the names from their records to try and record everyone known to be buried here, I had originally added all names and dates that differ from what we found. I have removed some that were obvious spelling errors but have left many.

To give an example: Listed is Elmer R. Shirley we found a stone for him and although the stone does not indicate that he was KIA his death date would  indicate that he was, then listed is Elmer R. Shirley Oakwood had the date listed  as 4-30 1948 which is probably the burial date of Elmer who actually died in 1945, then there is Ely Shirley Jr. with the same burial date as Elmer so could be that  Elmer was also known as Ely.

Shirley, Elmer R.       8-31-1923       6-30-1945       WWII  Main Stone
Shirley, Elmer R.                       4-30-48         ****
Shirley, Ely Jr.                        4-30-48         ****
