ROLAND

According to cemetery records, the lot holder for the west half of this lot was Daniel Roland and the lot holder for the east half was C. J. Roland [Charles, Daniel's son]. Lots are 12 feet wide and 16 feet deep. The photo above is taken from the front of the west half of the lot, facing south. At the time the photo was taken, a large tree was encroaching on the front left side of the lot (northeast corner).
