Atkinson Cemetery Transcriptions

These are the transcriptions of all the stones found in Atkinson Cemetery. I attempted to transcribe the cemetery by rows, but many of the stones do not fall into a logical pattern. This map is not to scale, but should help visitors locate the stones they wish to see. Dashes represent information that was not readable on the stones, and my own comments are in italics.

P A pile of 13 gravestone bases exists on the NW side of a tree in the NW corner of Atkinson Cemetery. Presumably these were placed here after the City restored the cemetery. One of the bases has an illegible inscription.
