Cemetery Notes
Cemetery is well maintained. The cemetery was broken down into six sections (refer to map). Headstones are recorded from left to right (south to north) and from front to back (east to west). The oldest part of the cemetery is in Section 2. In 1976 J. Robert Swank noted on Section 2: "There are many unmarked graves and a number of stones are weathered and illegible." The cemetery was started as a community cemetery.
In 1946 John W. Wayland noted on Section 2: In or about 1899 the Old Breneman Mennonite Church/Cemetery was abandoned and Lindale Mennonite Church was built at the (present day) graveyard. There are a number of old sandstones on which the inscriptions cannot be deciphered.
