Solomon’s Temple Cemetery — 2 Comments

  1. This is a question, I have family information that a Phoebe Dillon is buried there at the Solomon’s Temple graveyard. She is not listed on the above website showing those buried in your cemetery. Is there someone there that could verify for me if she is interred there? She would have been buried there on 21 March 1915. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    • Did anyone ever find out if she was there for you? I frequently visit and would be happy to look next time I’m there. There are several unmarked graves though.
