Unmarked vaults

An unmarked vault was recorded beside George R. Revell’s grave. The survey also recorded two unmarked vaults about 15 feet from the main cemetery and a third vault about 15 feet farther away in line with them.

Cemetery Notes

The surveyors noted that the stones of the first five Revell children and those of George H., John H., and Georgianna Thomas appear to have been made by the same stonemaker. Each bears a small mark described as a circle with two curlicues, and the headstones have corresponding footstones.

Listed: Sunday, May 2, 1999, by Philip L. Goldsborough, Ed Smith, Nolan Ford, and Rebecca F. Miller.
