Vevay Cemetery, Section 2
M - R
This section, the largest in the cemetery, contains
the oldest commercial stones found in the whole cemetery,
as well as some very recent ones. Notes
in red are made by me, some on my relatives and some of
the data was gleaned from the excellent book "The
Dufour Saga 1796 - 1942," by Julie LeClerc
Knox. -- Sheila
