N.B. There are indeed Hollister graves and markers in "Rural Home" which match to some of the names listed here. Whereas the Hollister graves in "Forest Home" do not match (albeit that some are quite old, i.e. 18th century births). As of 06-Jun-2012, "Forest Home Cemetery" personnel state that their records do not substantiate the claim, that graves were moved there from "Dodge's Corners".
As for "Dodge's Corners" cemetery records - no formal documents are known to exist. The hand-written transcription (of the text engraved onto the tombstones, dating from 1840-to-1919), was the basis for all of the memorials added here.
