It was compiled by the Kalamzoo County Genealogical Society in 1980. The book is housed at the Kalamazoo Public Library in the history room (call number H 977.417 K145 V. 1 and V.2). Any name with a death date after 1976 was entered by myself. My goal is to submit the cemetery photos to this site as soon as time allows. Some epitahs could not be entered due to their length e-mail me at ddrallette@yahoo.com for this information.
