Submitted by: Stefanie Gilbert siimom@webtv.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bressie Cemetery located near the old community of Bressie. approx. 5 miles east of highway 77 @ the Marland turn off. It is on the soouth side of the road. This cemetery is on the east side of large hill. It is completely overgrown with tall prairie grass and weeds. There is a very nice gate at the entrance and is easily seen from the road. The gate has large letters "BRESSIE CEMETERY" you enter at the low end of the cemetery at the far northwest corner. We found that most of the cemetery is unused or unmarked or most likely both. Information is taken exactly from stones. Info in parenthesis are my personal notes.
