Notes for JACOB BAILEY:

When I checked cemetery records I found that Jacob Bailey's death date

is right, but the others listed are burial dates. Jacob was buried on

June 8 so the others should be 2 or 3 days later than the death dates.

All those listed above were buried in lots owned by Gravner Bailey.
