The following information was provided by a find a grave contributor on July 1, 2022. I haven't had time to verify the information but here is what they wrote:

I believe that this Bert Oscar is attached to the wrong parents. There were two Bert Brigners born in 1877 and 1881 in Ohio. Both were born to different Andrew Brigners.

Bert Oscar (b.1877) married Ardella, but had different siblings than the children of the attached Andrew and Viola. Bert Oscar Brigner was born in Ohio and was buried in Michigan.

Bert Johnson Brigner (b.1881) married Bertha May Keck and had different siblings than the other Bert. He was a farmer and continued to live in Ohio after his divorce from Bertha. He is buried in the same cemetery next to the attached Andrew and Viola Brigner.

All that to say, I believe that Bert Oscar Brigner should be associate with a different Andrew Brigner. It's possible that his mother was also named Viola, but I haven't looked into it.
