Additional Comments

This is full listing of Cates Cemetery, although it says "partial" at top, I had to do that in order to add names later.

There are 2 unmarked graves on right side of Ammon Williams, son of George Williams and Susie Cates, according to my father(George and Susie's grandson), these graves belong to: Guy Williams, infant son and George Williams. Susie is buried at far end of that same row, as Susie C. Powell.
3rd unmarked in slightly beneath grave of Delia Cates.
4th unmarked is between Phillip K. VanWinkle and Vola Cates.
I transcribed this cemetery in 2006, there have been no additions to my knowledge since that day.
