Transcribed
by Dudley Rinicker, October 25, 2004. Oakwood Cemetery is in very poor condition. Many sunken graves, without markers, many mounded brick graves without markers. There is no travelable road to the cemetery. There was a storm a couple of years ago that left downed trees and limbs all over the cemetery. I recorded all the markers I could find. There were 10 markers, in the Carroll County Cemetery Book, that I didn't find, but I found 3 markers that were not recorded there.
