Arenac County Cemeteries
NOTE: The cemetery pages contain index tables of headstone inscriptions. We’ve modified the Barringer book index format to create a searchable table. The compiler retains all rights. When you see “same stone,” this means two or more inscriptions share that stone. If you see “same stone” for your individual, look at the alphanumeric code in the left column, sort the page by the Index order column, and then look for that individual’s number to find who else is associated with that stone. You may find important information (like marriage dates and relationships) about that person when you see what is inscribed about others who share that stone.
