LAKE BANK CEMETERY
SECTION B
Lake Bank Cemetery was recorded by Mary Ann Radtke on October 30, 1999. She went to each stone and recorded the wording. This listing is as accurate as possible, but weathering has taken a toll on many of the older stones. Corrections to Cheryl Rothwell. Lines by a date or 0000 indicate the person was still living on the date of reading. The following abbreviations were used: y-years, m-months, and d-days. The following listing by cemetery layout. Use your 'Find' button to locate a specific name. The directions for each row are left to right while facing east, which is towards the lane that comes into the cemetery.

| The back of his tombstone reads: God looked around his garden, And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering. He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be then." It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. | |||||
