"Eric R. Battle compiled his work in the late 1930s. In some of these cemeteries he found more stones intact and legible than we who followed some 40 years later were able to locate. In these instances only the information from the stones we were not able to find was used from Mr. Battle's notes." (CEMETERY RECORDS . . . page v.)
