For all three cemeteries I obtained access to the official records. I obtained access
to two types or records for the Glendale Cemetery so I compared them and created
my own data file. I then went to the cemetery and compared my data to the actual
head stones and monuments. I made corrections as required. I did everything possible
to make sure my data file was correct. After comparing the data file to a stone,
I photographed it. If there was any doubt that the photo would be readable due to
glare, wear or anything else I took a number of photos. For the Fairview and Jacks
cemeteries I took the photos and then compared them to the official records while
I created my data file. If I found a difference between the records and the headstone
I considered the headstone as correct.
