Gravestone Photographs

Bright Cemetery is located on the east side of Havensport Road, just north of Bish Road, and nearly one mile south of Basil-Western Road (GPS - 394955N; 0824024W).  The photographs on this page represent a complete photographic inventory of all remaining gravestones.  They were taken and contributed by Beth Santore, webmaster of Grave Addiction (www.graveaddiction.com).  Beth also supplied an index of graves made August 1, 1986 by George F. Stilwell.  Those names found at that time have been incorporated in the list of photographs below.  If there is no link the stone is no longer in evidence.
