The information included dates from the gravestones and, in some cases, the inscriptions from the gravestones. Although these volumes are now out-of-print, they are available for reference at the Bosque County Collection, and the information contained in these volumes has been converted to an online database searchable by name.

NOTES: This cemetery was surveyed by the BCHC in 1980. It was described as being well-kept with a fence around it. The first school in the community was begun here, then a church, taking on the name of an early Lane family. The school was moved and discontinued, but the church building remains and is used for singings and community homecomings.
