During my visit to this cemetery in 2006, I observed four separate sections:
Calvary, IOOF, A & FM and a section which seemed to be devoted to Indian
burials. The Calvary and Indian sections are side by side and are separated by
a highway from the IOOF and the A & FM sections.
The Indian section is sep-
arated by a fence from the Calvary section, and is the only section that does
not seem to have a sign designating the section
