Description:  Nicholson Cemetery is one of the hardest cemeteries to reach. In the pictures, I have included a "map" of sorts that I made to help find the cemetery. The cemetery is also on private property, so get permission before visiting.

Pictures: I visited this cemetery in September 2006, and got pictures of all the stones I could find. I do plan to revisit this cemetery to take updated pictures & better quality pictures.

Internment List:Using information from my visits and internet records - I've come up with a list of who is in this cemetery. If I have a picture of the stone, I've including the picture number. (PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT guarantee this list to be 100% accurate or correct - I've done the best job that I could.) You can view the list with the link below, or download the list in Microsoft Excel format. PLEASE do not copy the list & call it your own - If used, please give credit back to COAN.NET or to this site, VermilionCounty.INFO. Thanks

Hello would you mind letting me know which web host you're utilizing? I've loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a fair price? Cheers, I appreciate it!
