Original cemetery survey and transcription (PDF)

**Review needed:** Elizabeth T. Sudler appears twice in the field document with conflicting parent initials and death years (1841 versus 1864). Both original readings are preserved in the source PDF; the public grave card currently uses the first reading.

The photo labeled Eleanor (Waters) Sudler has not been assigned to Eleanor G. Hall, whose different identity appears in the survey.
