Contributed by Cheryl Harris, Nov 01, 2006, last edited May 07, 2007 [rich1223@comcast.net]. Total records = 198.

As there is no post office in Alma at the present time, using the Glenwood post office as the primary point of reference, go north on US 180 for 4 miles, at which point the road crosses Mineral Creek over a concrete bridge.� Shortly after crossing the bridge, go on a dirt road that turns off towards the east; travel for 1/2 mile to where another dirt road turns off to the north (left), crosses a cattle-guard, and curves around and up a small hill.� This road goes for 1/2 mile to the gate of the cemetery, which is located on the flat top of the hill, overlooking the town of Alma.

The town was established in 1881 and named after the wife of one of the original settlers. The names have been gathered from library records (which are constantly retreiving and transcribing) as well as books, mortuary records and census of the era.

I have completed transcribing this cemetery on Oct 31, 2006.

cemetery records

A free online library of cemetery records from thousands of cemeteries across the world, for historical and genealogy research.

Clear Digital Media, Inc.

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
