  Meg Hilliker's directory of Cedar Rest Cemetery can be   seen either at City Hall or the Historical Society.  (HCHS)    

 

  Members of the Hancock County Historical Society will be   in the Cedar Rest Cemetery Oct. 26 - Nov 1 (1984) to record   any unmarked graves or graves with headstones that are   unreadable because of wear or damage.    

 

  The society is seeking information from individuals whose   relatives' graves have been destroyed and also proof of   burials in cemetery.              

 

  Cedar Rest Cemetery has rows with temporary markers.  All   readable graves have been recorded and listed alphabetically. 

 

  Of the 2,350 possible first burial spaces,   only 1,532 are readably marked; 198 headstones have been   broken or are blank; six graves are marked with a given   name but not a family name; and 381 vacant spaces are   within copings, indicating possible spaces for future   burials of family members, according to Meg Hilliker, who   is in charge of the project.  Also there are possibly 174   vacant plots unclaimed by copings or markers, she said.    

 

  Anyone with questions or information about burials in the   cemetery is asked to contact Mrs. Hilliker at xxx-xxxx or Peggy Gibbens at xxx-xxxx. (note: phone numbers outdated & removed
