Cemeteries

Feature Name	Latitude	Longitude	Links	Notes
When possible I have included GPS coordinates for the cemeteries. There are a couple different formats depending on the source. Standard Degree ( ° ), Minute ( " ) and Second ( ' ) [36° 21" 21' N] and decimal [36.44565°]. GPS coordinates are probablly the most accurate way to locate a cemetery. Driving directions are also included but may or may not be accurate. A map image ( ) after the Find A Grave link indicates that there is a map of the location on the Find A Grave site. A camera image ( ) indicates pictures.

Questionable Cemeteries
The following cemeteries are included here because they appear in one database or another but don't seem to have ever existed in Coles County. Realising that cemeteries may sometimes be known by different names in different times they are included here just in case. It has even been suggested that some may be cemetery names from surrounding counties that were mistakenly included in a database for Coles County.
