These two were originally posted as having been buried at this cemetery, but I did not see them:
Malloy, Billy Joe; 08/18/1963 (10 days old)
Otzenberger, James M Jr; 09/01/1948-06/16/1971

Since I transcribed this cemetery, there have been at least two more burials here.  They are:

Fletcher, James Louis, 1923-2001 (all that funeral home marker shows).  [obit shows he did 10/4/2001 at the age of 78] +
James, Jean A, 03/17/1926-5/6/2002 +

I have tried my best to get these dates and names as correct as possible.  If you see any errors, please let me know.  A lot of these people are related to me.  If you have a family connection, please send me a note or e-mail.  If the entry has a + at the end, I have the obituary which I am willing to share-just e-mail me.  Anything in [] is a remark made by me.
