I think some may have missed the e-mails I was referring to. The nice people doing the posting of the photos for the cemeteries labeled one as "Bremer" because they didn't find a name at the sight http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~evansandobertein/photographs/ someone replied to that with the name you get from the http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/saginaw/kochville/default.asp#cems However, I have at least 10 obits from the Saginaw News dating from the 1930's including the latest which was 1999 - in which is stated the cemetery is "Lawndale Cemetery". Anyone having an obit from the newspaper would have no idea that it known by another name. If you wanted to find a grave from "Lawndale Cemetery" and there are 47 people listed on the Saginaw Library Obit index as having been buried there the earliest of which is 1901 - which are the exact graves shown in the photos. I have no problem with anyone labeling it anything - but if anyone is looking for a grave for someone whose obit lists them as being buried in "Lawndale Cemetery" or "Lawndale Evangelical Cemetery" you now know you should look at the property on the corner of Kochville and Lawndale. I know it took me a long time to find where it was because it isn't listed anywhere except obituaries with that name. If this saves one person some time and frustration I have accomplished my goal of helping out ;-) Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Bohinski" <Bohinski@Chartermi.net> To: <MISAGINA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 10:45 AM Subject: Re: [MISAGINA] Lawndale Cemetery > The cemetery in question was located at Lawndale and Kochville roads, > according to the Saginaw county official list of cemeteries it is the > United Methodist Cemetery, there is also a Kochville Methodist Cemetery > that is located at Kochville and Bay road, about 4 or 5 miles east of > this site.
