The New Berlin Cemetery more or less defines the town's boundary in the northwest quarter of town. It can be seen from the main east-west street by looking toward the north. There was a woman living in a house near the southeast corner of the cemetery who was able to look up the locations of graves, and she pointed out to me the one I wanted to find. I regret I cannot remember her name, but I contacted her by asking at a nearby gas station and the workers there told me to call this lady on their office phone. I made arrangements over the phone and she met me at the graveyard entrance a few minutes later. I am sure anyone living near the cemetery entrance will know how to find this woman who has the information you will need, that is if things are the same now as they were five years ago. I gained the impression that everyone was inclined to be very kindly and helpful and that the people living there generally prefer to keep things the way they are in their town! I hope things go as well for you as they did for me years ago! Nelson R. Sulouff
