Industry --Pilgrims Rest Cemetery

 

In Industry go one block north of Hwy 159 on Hwy 109.   Turn left and go to the Methodist Church. 

  This cemetery is the second one behind the church.  

Additional information was supplied from current church cemetery records.   Hopefully a map will soon appear showing  the overall locations and divisions of the cemetery.  At present use Control F to find the name for a particular person in the files below...but not in reference to  adjacent graves.

NOTE:  I only do transcribing and helping people with genealogical research.  I have nothing to do with the cemetery, so if you are looking for information on purchasing plots contact the caretaker or a local funeral home.

To look for obits go to Bellville Public Library site and click on Newspaper as there is a wealth of information for obituaries and other records.

PLEASE CHECK the Cemetery Index page as the below table may not be complete.

Thanks to Carolyn Zascoda for updates to these files. January 2021
