Central State Hospital Cemetery

 GSMC volunteers just finished entering a list of 602 burials into our website Cemetery Module. 

This list was created in 1987 by Beuford Hall of the Wayne Township Historical Society.

We will be enhancing individual burials as documented information becomes available.
