Still maintained, tombstones are in varying stages from good to broken; There are numerous fieldstones in this cemetery, and there quite possibly could be more tombstones that have fallen over and buried just below the surface. One thing to note on this transcription, the tombstone of Wm. M. & Ella Wood have their children’s names and dates listed on the back on their stone, it is unknown at this time whether the children are all actually buried in Bruce Cemetery. The photos are posted for you to look at. Bruce Cemetery is located 16.7 miles west of Fairfield off Hwy 15 you will turn right (North) onto CR350 E, travel about a half mile and turn left (West) onto CR650 N. the road winds back about a half mile. Every tombstone was photographed and the transcritption was done Oct.,2007 by Michael J. Von Gebel vongoebel@hotmail.com
