Brant stones   Cemetery overview
Cemetery Overview

The Brant family arrived in Berrien County in the year 1836. The cemetery is on the land that this pioneer family settled. When viewing a cemetery log, please keep in mind that you never will view a total list of every individual buried in a particular cemetery. Many times the list of who's buried where was in the caretakers memory and not written down in record books. Then age and time takes it toll on the inscriptions on many of the old stones. Therefore the following list is comprised of old stone photos, obituaries and county histories.
