********************************************************************************
The cemetery offerings are based on stone readings, cemetery records and information
donated by family members of the deceased individuals. Biographical information came from
family members and the following books: The History of Madison County 1883 & 1915, The
History of Fayette County 1883 and Portrait and Biographical Record of Fayette, Pickaway
and Madison Counties 1892. The volumes were graciously loaned by the Mt. Sterling Public
Library. Without their support and dedication to local history this project could not have
been done.
Thanks go to those who allowed me to enter private property for readings: Dr. Fred Brown,
Mr. John Brown, Mr. & Mrs. Gary Scott and Mr. Gerald Baynes. Thanks also to Mr. Denny
Morris and Mr. Jim Stiverson for their assistance on reading the stones and the Board of
Trustees of the Pleasant Cemetery and the employees for their help. Thanks, too, to Mr.
Steve Cooper whose patience with my files knew no bounds.
