Contributed by Maggie Rail, Jan 02, 2000, last updated May 28, 2011 [mrail@asisna.com]. Total records = 62.

Organized: Oct. 03, 1901. Received Incorporation papers: Dec. 14, 1901 Land deeded to Association by Amos and Emma Lewis. Feb. 04, 1902 Approved by County Commissioners: Apr 14, 1908. Re-Incorporated as the "Chester Community Cemetery" a non-profit corporation on Feb 20, 1990.

Originally I transcribed only from the Chester Community Cemetery's Sexton book. They list burials from 1902 to 1998. The record lists name, death date and sometimes birthdate, age at death and location in the cemetery. Also recorded are birthplace, cause of death and nearest relative, when available. Transcribed and compiled by Maggie Rail © 1999-2001

I walked this cemetery on Oct 18, 2001. I placed an asterisk after all those which do not have a marker. I have photos I will share of those with a marker.
