I agree that it appears they may have been buried on private land.  How would I find out if Henry Wolford (Woolford) purchased land in Elk County? 

Thanks for the cemetery list.  It is a great resource, but I did not find Sarah Jane Wolford who died in Elk Falls in 1881.  Maybe the grave markers for Sarah and for Henry and Sarah's young/infant daughter, Elizabeth Wolford are no longer there. 

I looked for burials at Grace Lawn and found James Gibson, husband of Elizabeth Eley Gibson.  She later married Henry Wolford (Woolford).  Are there lists of those buried at the other cemeteries?

Thank you for the links for the Wolford family.  Cynthia

I found my Great Grandparents Mr. & Mrs. Henry Woolford and their son James in the Pioneer Days posting.  This is incredible!!!!  If anyone has information on them or where Mrs. Sarah Jane Woolford (or Wolford) is buried I would appreciate it.  She died 3/25/1881. Great story to learn about our family history.  And Alfred and Ed Glidden are cousins!  Where may I find a copy of the complete text?  Thanks.
