Ethel Weersing Petersen remembered seeing her grandparents Jacob and Fennegian Weersing's graves not too far from street view as she passed by as a child on her way to school. Years later, walking through the cemetery with Aunt Ethel, we had no luck finding the graves. Aunt Ethel may have remembered incorrectly.
Help was requested on Findagrave.com. Here is what is reported back in Sept 2012:
"Both Fennegian & Jacob Weersing are recorded by the Clerk's Office in Zeeland to be in the General Section, Section K, Row 2, Graves 21 & 22. There are no gravestones".
The original person who submitted this grave to Findagrave.com indicated that there is a marker which says "MOTHER"
UPDATE: There is a tombstone!
