The surveyors listed below and an earlier team of explorers consisting of Tony Williams, Dora Dervin, Elizabeth Schoellmann, and Bill Stein actually walked through the cemetery without noticing its existence before, on a second attempt the same afternoon, Glenda Henderson Jordan located the first tombstone. Only three readable stones were found. The discovered tombstones were partially or completely covered with dirt and vegetation. Evidence of other graves exists, but no other readable grave marker was located. Based on information provided by Tony Williams, library staff subsequently searched the death records at the Colorado County courthouse and added four names to the list of those buried in the cemetery. None of those added, however, were said on their death certificates to be buried in the Alexander Cemetery. Two, Lucian and Emmett Alexander, were said to be buried in Vox Populi, one, William Alexander, was said to be buried in Garwood, and another, Saloman Alexander was said to be buried near Garwood. Nonetheless, based on Tony Williams' testimony, and recognizing that each of the listed places of burial might easily be confounded with the location of the Alexander Cemetery, all have been added to our survey.
