Research at Johnson County Archives provided a transcription from the early 1970s, found in the Johnson Co. Cemetery Index, Johnson Co. Genealogical Society and Library, 1975. After a comparison of my transcription to this earlier one, I was able to fill in a few illegible blanks in my transcription. Photos available upon request. About the Cemetery: This is a beautiful family cemetery set on a rural road surrounded by prairie farmland and fronted by stone pillars and wrought iron gates. A plaque is on one of the stone pillars dedicating the gates to the memory of Emmett and Mary Murphy. The lot is immaculate, and dotted with several large trees. * = Supplemented by 1970s transcription ??, ??; ??, ??; Footstone D D, Footstone laying against a tree ??, ??; b. 24 Aug 1864, d. 01 May 1880 ??, ??; d. 25 Dec 1889, 3 y 1 m 7 d ??, Ettie E; ??, Harry C; d. 16 Jun 1880, 2 y 6 m 22 d Ashlock, Berdie A; d. 19 Jun 1877, 1 y 5 m 15 d, * Ashlock, Lorenzo Dow; d. 13 Mar 1870, 1 yrs 15 d, Children of S C and M G Ashlock, * Ashlock, Mary E; d. 16 Aug 1880, 27 y 6 m 22 d, Children of S C and M G Ashlock, * Baker, Martin D; d. 25 May 1873, 4 y 8 m 13 d, Son of B T and S E Baker Blaylock, Homer A; b. 1916, d. 1979 Brady, Johnie; b. 08 Oct 1878, d. 17 Feb 1879, Infant son of Mr and Mrs J H Brady Brown, Effie; b. 14 Apr 1880, d. 05 Aug 1880, Children of A and M B Brown, s/w Mary E Brown Brown, Herbert A; d. 14 Jun 1880, Son of W C and M A Brown Brown, M Agnes; d. 10 Mar 1880, 24 y 2 m 21 d, Wife of W C Brown Dau of J and C Brady Brown, Maggie B; b. 27 May 1850, d. 17 Sep 1880, Wife of Austin Brown Brown, Mary E; b. 27 May 1878, d. 07 Aug 1879, Children of A and M B Brown, s/w Effie Brown * Brown, Nancy D; b. 18 May 1798, d. 18 Dec 1878 Deane, Dixie; b. 18 Aug 1860, d. 08 Apr 1880, Wife of M O Deane Dau of N W and Mary Murphy Dubois, Abiah; d. 02 Mar 1873, 57 y 4 m 17 d, Wife of R H Dubois Dunlap, Frankie; d. 11 Feb 1882, 16 y 7 m 1 d, Dau of J T and S J Dunlap, Dunlap, James T; b. 23 Jun 1824, d. 15 Jun 1875, s/w Sarah J Dunlap Dunlap, Sarah J; b. 28 Aug 1831, d. 29 May 1898, Wife of J T Dunlap, s/w J T Dunlap Dunlap, Walter L; b. 22 Dec 1868, d. 26 Feb 1900 Dunlap, William; b. 23 Sep 1855, d. 22 Feb 1879 Fletcher, Elizabeth; d. 04 Nov 1873, 73 yrs Frisbie, Louisa V; d. 10 Jan 1876, 28 y 5 m 26 d, Wife of C T Frisbie Grohowske, Mrs Sharlotta; b. 20 Nov 1843, d. 12 Nov 1902 Hazlett, Howard R; d. 09 Nov 1880, 3 y 6 m, Son of J D and M R Hazlett Hazlett, Sherman; d. 11 Nov 1880, 12 y 9 m, Son of J D and M R Hazlett Larkins, B ?; d. 01 Aug 1882, Children of A and H Larkins, s/w Mattie Larkins Larkins, Mattie; d. 28 Sep 1882, Children of A and H Larkins, s/w B ?
