I checked the Cemetery Inscriptions book and do not find them listed. In the Works Progress Administration description of the Cemetery is this "Cantreee, David Cantrell migrated to theis county from South Carolina was prominent in early county affairs, an esquire, etc. Established on his farm in 1823. Approximately 13 graves. Four miles west of Etowah." This cemetery is very unkept, very overgrown. They are likely in unmarked graves there. I'd recommend you make the attempt to get obit from local newspapers that would be on microfilm and should be available on interlibrary loan.
