If you have additional information or photos of the stones in any of the Cass County Cemeteries, please contact me at cassmichigangen@yahoo.com Deanna West, Cass County Michigan Coordinator.Any time you view an older cemetery, in no matter what county through out the USA, the listing should be considered as a partial listing as many times records are either destroyed through mishap or not all burials were recorded.
