Plot Map:  Section A

LARGER View           LARGEST View

          Section A is located at the northeastern corner of the cemetery.  Note there is a grave (#5) delineated as being outside the present fence line.  Grave #75, near the western edge of Section A, extends into the road which runs through the middle of the cemetery.  
          Grave #28, nearly fully in the road, extends slightly into Section A.  Graves #15 and #16 appear to be partially on top of one another.  Grave #79 is a grave with a marker which either abuts or is partially on top of Grave #84, an unmarked grave.
           Grave #59 is marked as the grave of George Becker.  Information received from Phyllis Rupley Snyder indicates that Mr. and Mrs. Snyder had accompanied longtime county resident Georgie Leoni to the Fair Play Cemetery to place the grave stone of Mr. Becker.  Quite elderly at the time, Georgie could not remember where George's grave was located so she asked Mr. Snyder to lean it against a tree in hopes that someone would see it and place it on his grave.  It is unknown if this is the grave of George Becker or not.  The ground penetrating radar survey map, separate from the land surveyor's mapping, did not show an anomaly representing a grave.
          Graves #42 and #43 represent the graves of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Grant.  While they are shown as being side-by-side, the ground penetrating radar survey did not show two graves in this post and chain enclosed plot.  Rather, it appears that Mr. Grant was buried on top of the grave of his wife.  [Click Here to see an original copy of the map utilizing the GPR image of this plot showing only one grave image.] 
          At the time of the land and ground penetrating radar survey, there were obvious "pet" graves located in the northeastern corner of the cemetery.  A cat's fore leg had been dug out by wild animals and still had fur attached to the exposed limb.
