Volume I contains the records of Lots 1 through 500 and the Youngstown Township Section. It contains the tombstone inscriptions and those buried in lots with no stones as per lot cards.

Only tombstone inscriptions are available for the Youngstown Township Section, because there are no known records. Every effort was made to provide death dates, military records and other helpful information.
