LEGEND:          
COD = Cause Of Death  
DC = Death Certificate  
= APCRP research reveled conflicting information. Death Certificates indicate these individuals are not interred in the Signal Cemetery. Other historical sources indicate the Signal Cemetery.
Revised: 12/24/12
Contributor: Neal Du Shane: Research of the general area indicates the possiblity there is three cemeteries at Signal. 1. American, 2. Hispanic, 3. Chinese. Death Certificates don't distinguish which cemetery in Signal the individual was buried in.
