The name of the plot in which the burial'can be found is indicated after
each entry in the text. All plots are listed here, having been assigned a
number. That number is used to identify the location of the plot on the
accompanying map.
Recorded with each entry
are precise directions for finding the site which include the general area in
the county, mileages, route numbers. Also for each site are listed the surnames
of all families buried in that particular plot. Such is not done, of course,
for the large public cemeteries and. churchyards.
