Additional Info
Still maintained, tombstones are in varying stages from good to broken

There are numerous fieldstones in this cemetery, and there quite possibly could be more tombstones that have fallen
over and buried just below the surface. One thing to note on this transcription, the tombstone of Wm. M. &
Ella Wood have their children’s names and dates listed on the back on their stone, it is unknown at this time whether
the children are all actually buried in Bruce Cemetery.

Every tombstone was photographed and the transcription was done Oct., 2007 by Michael J. Von Gebel.
It is displayed here with his permission given in March of 2010.
