CEMETERIES

The following cemetery listings were compiled by members or the GCGS.

The information has been gathered from many resources; such as family members, the Riparian Club of Emporia, obituaries from The Independent-Messenger (notated as IM), Funeral Programs, the Social Security Death Index (dates obtained from this source are high lighted in yellow on the spreadsheets) and last, but not least from actual survey’s of cemeteries done by members of the GCGS.  Additional family or other information added will be shown in parenthesis.   

Military Inscriptions were recorded in the surveys, all others are marked with “IN” in the Inscription/comments section on the spreadsheet.

We hope that this information is helpful to you in your search for family burials.  Please feel free to use this information in your family research.  If information in in doubt, please consult the actual tombstone.
