Corrections and additions to the  Wilkinson county cemetery book.

copied 6 March 1994  by Virginia Ewing and Irene Able

We checked each headstone against the cemetery book and made corrections as
needed.  Many names had been left out of the book and some dates copied incorrectly.
I put the name of the Cemetery, as listed in the Cemetery book, to the right of
the dates.
