We have tried to be as complete and accurate as possible, based on reading the markers, and on other sources such as census reports and death certificates. You may find additional information by searching the Bear Creek Cemetery section of Find A Grave, although there are a number of errors there.

When we did not know a month or day of a birth or death date, we usually put "0" for the missing values (so the sort will work correctly).

The chart on the right shows the number of deaths in each age range. An extremely high percentage of the burials are for children. In fact, out of 161 individuals for which we can determine the age, 74 (over 45%) were children under the age of three.

The grave codes are a section letter (A thru I) and a grave number within the section. See the cemetery map for section locations.
Footstone letters are shown as capital letters in parentheses after the name.
