Notes: From Tracy
C.: A
couple of interesting facts about this cemetery. There are 2 memorial
markers. Susanne Pofandt Flint 1934- 2008 was
cremated, and ashes were not buried here but there is a stone. The other is
Glen B Phillips 1945- 1987. He is buried at Big Sand Cemetery, but they did a
double stone with his spouse. Since he died relatively young, I assume the
wife remarried or moved... They moved the double stone to this cemetery and
replaced it at Big Sand with a single stone. The owners of the house are James Flint and Erma (Phillips) Reed Flint. Susanne was the first wife of James Flint and Glen was Erma's brother. It may be confusing when people visit there that the stones are located in the cemetery. |
