Penwell Gabel Cemetery Update

RCGS member, Melody Morgan, has completed our Penwell Gabel index containing 12,260 interments from 1925 to 2006. Thank you, Melody!

The list includes the name, burial date, section, lot & space. Our 1978 survey is still posted which includes birth and death dates, if known.

Also, take a look at the cemetery overview map and the cemetery view on Google Maps. We have plans to add more details on the cemetery.
