Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Oponys Town) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Oponys Town. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 27.7836, Longitude: -81.7998       In this case, the coordinates for Oponys Town have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2>The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com.
