A NOTE ABOUT THE NUMBERS:
"The words and figures in brackets above each inscription indicate where the
same may be found in the rows of stones on the east and west side of Central
Avenue, entering from Main Street.
Thus [6 Row, West 3] indicates the sixth row from the gate on the west side of
Central Ave and the 3rd stone from the Avenue in that row."

Jenn
