On http://www.findagrave.com there are three possibilities:
Carter Cemetery in Chester (map shows location)
Chester Rural Cemetery in Chester(map shows location)
Chester Friends Cemetery(no map)
I know of at least one old cemetery located next to an office where my
husband worked in the 1950's that was relocated due to building.It was on
the main business street but I don't have any names.I think there are most
likely others that were relocated due to the building boom in the business
area. Anyway ordinarily I would go there to search but Chester is an area to
avoid these days even with a university there-crime all around the town.I'll
ask my husband if he can think of anything else.
