The headstones in the cemetery face north, toward Snake Road. The entrance is marked by red brick pillars off Snake Road with Holy Family to the left of the pillars and Holy Ascension on the right. An aerial photograph with the approximate boundaries of the cemetery is shown in Figure 1. The cemetery was transcribed in July 2006, beginning at left side of the cemetery starting at the section nearest to Snake Road West to East and North to South. The cemetery is divided into two sections by the access road. These are identified as Section A and Section B in the location photo and in the actual transcription. The rows of headstones in each section were transcribed from left to right and were assigned to rows as close as possible in cases when the headstones were not aligned in rows.

A transcription of the headstones in this cemetery was previously published by Des Warzel in 1995.[1]  This transcription was compared to Des Warzel’s transcription to check for completeness and to identify possible errors.

Figure 2 is a topographical map showing the location of the cemetery relative to the village of Colver. Please note that in Figure 1 North is toward the bottom of the page, while Figure 2 has North at the top.
