How to Find a Grave
A Shady Lane burial location may contain four useful pieces of information: section, avenue or walk, lot, and grave. You can use them in that order.
Read the location from left to right
Section identifies the major cemetery area. Avenue/Walk narrows the location. Lot identifies the family or numbered plot. Grave identifies the individual burial position when recorded.
Use the original map scan
Open the section map and locate the avenue, street, walk, or lot. Historical maps can be dense, so zooming the image is often helpful.

Older cemetery records and maps may contain abbreviations, renamed paths, incomplete fields, or handwriting. The site preserves what is indexed and flags uncertain material for review rather than silently changing it.
