The cemetery is actually owned by the city. The City Manager has the records for the cemetery, including a plot map. Keep in mind that the dates on the map are usally the burial dates, and not the dates of death. The cemetery was not well kept before the city took over and some tombstones are missing. Although the old part of the cemetery is fairly small, it still takes a good part of an afternoon to walk the cemetery, so I would first go by the City Managers office at city hall, and find out exactly where the graves you seek are located.

It is now a nice cemtery with lots of shade trees. I think you'll have a nice trip. Hope this info helps. The library is next door to city hall, and they have a pretty good collection of the old Zephyhills newspapers, if you need some obits.
