Cemetary and Headstone Information

If you are doing geneology on any of the families discussed on this site, you might be interested to know that nearly all of them are buried in Zane Township. The Zane Township cemetaries are very accessible and generally well taken care of [with the exception of the Curl Cemetary]. See the links below.

• Listing of Zane Township Cemetaries. Very complete.
• Middleburg Cemetary Headstone Inscriptions of the Heath's, Cochran's, Antrim's and other relatives buried in the Middleburg Cemetary. Listed in alphabetical order. Do a "Find in Page" search on Heath, Cochran, Antrim, Euans, or other local surname and you'll be pleasantly surprised at what turns up.
• Curl Cemetary (a.k.a. Darby Creek Cemetary) Headstone Inscriptions of the earliest Zane Township pioneers, many of whom are veterans of the Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil Wars. Listed in alphabetical order. I'm including this becase the cemetary is sadly neglected by the Zane Township Trustees and many of the headstones are illegible, broken, or missing completely.
