Linwood Cemetery burial index
Barringer book index searchable table
The Barringer, et al inscriptions index table contents were contributed in 2005 for MIGenWeb use by Betty Brokoff Barringer and “the Cemetery Club” members Carlie Welker Klumpp, Barbara Briggs Foster and JoEllyn Lawson Pedota, from the book Arenac County Michigan Cemetery Inscriptions.3 The names of the deceased whose graves cannot be located are listed in a PDF.
The burial information provided may be name, section and row location, dates, and inscription. When using the Linwood Cemetery map, read from north to south, starting in northwest corner. Inscriptions transcribed by Betty Brokoff Barringer, Barbara Briggs Foster, Carlie Welker Klumpp and JoEllyn Lawson Pedota.
We’ve modified the Barringer book index format to create a searchable table. The compiler retains all rights. 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. You can more clearly see the shared stone and burial juxtapostions on our PDF of the Barringer book burial index that appeared on the old MIGenWeb site.
Certificates only, no burial plot information in cemetery records
Linwood Cemetery records show 40 death certificates that give the burial place as Linwood or Au Gres Cemetery but they cannot match these certificates with graves. The information in the Linwood Cemetery certificates only PDF is from 2017. If you have any information that may help solve this problem, please contact City of Au Gres to be forwarded to the current person in charge.
