Hi Ralph Lab here. I'm only an observer here (I guess) but would like to know if I could get the location of the "Durfey Cemetery", Richard? I don't remember seeing it in the County's list of cemeteries. Thanks.

Hi Ralph, Sure. It is on the last part of Scribner Rd, before you get to Livingston County, section 33. Scribner Rd Cemetery is another name for it. I am glad you asked, and thought maybe I should post directions,because we had hard time getting there, not realizing that Scribner Rd. does not run straight through, even when it looks like it does on the map,but is broken up more than once. We finally took Lansing Rd south to Beard Rd,east. It is a short distance south,I think, on Scribner. (Sorry, I don't have the map with me.)The cemetery is on the west side, with a farmer's type gate and grassy mowed entrance to a small hill, surrounded by farms with horses. No cemetery sign.
