Update: Bell Cemetery

Since so much about Bell Cemetery which I posted for Tombstone Tuesday today, I have decided to start combing through death certificates on Seeking Michigan and Family Search Beta to find some of those who are missing, and more information about the known burials. Somebody out there may already have this information, but it's a fun task for me and I'm excited to find out more about these lost folks.

I am still missing John Charboneau, Mary Riley, Patrick Riley, two Riley boys, Burnham boy (likely son of Fredrick and Julia), LaComb infant, 2 LaBlanc boys, Josephine Prestege, Susan LaRacque, LaRacque infant, Theodore White and any unknown others. Hopefully a little more digging will earn some answers!
