COMMENT/OPINION ON WEST GENESEE OR BROWN OR COLCORD CEMETERY
This cemetery had no maps and very few records. The only map we have is the map drafted by LeRoy Duden and Verna Jacobs.
The cemetery was in disarray for many years due to the grazing of sheep and horses.
The headstones were reset in the year 2005 with the help of Genesee Township Cemetery Board, Friends and Dana Corporation volunteers.
With minor previous information and records, we feel there are headstones still buried and missing.
If someone wishes to be buried in this cemetery, I would suggest they be buried on the West and South sides.
THIS IS MY OPINION.

Ken Johnson
Cemetery Board President & Chairman
