Stutter Cemetery Information

****** During a return visit to the cemetery,
I used shaving cream on the remaining stones to view them better.
(I normally don't used shaving cream, because it damages the stone,
but because they are in such bad condition I needed to get the readings,
and I did find a new stone that were not listed in the
Lancaster Historical Society papers.

I found only 4 or 5 legible stones,
most are missing, broken or illegible.
