The history of the cemetery and the memory of those who now rest there is a gift to anyone interested in the early days of the area.
The Brooklyn-Crystal Cemetery Association is proud of all the improvements we have been able to make to our beautiful cemetery. We are so thankful to our community and our active board members for giving our cemetery the respect it deserves.
In remembrance of our former Vice president and a devoted supporter of the cemetery, Clarence Westberg. He will be greatly missed by many. Carrying on the Westberg legacy, Clarence's daughter, Anita serves as Vice President and valuable member of the association.
History
Brooklyn-Crystal Cemetery is the resting place for many early pioneers of this area and also for their descendants. Over the years it has become quite difficult to identify the living owners of many of the grave sites. Ownership within each family passes to the surviving spouse or oldest living child or any other designated family member or person. Owners often sell or donate back to the Association grave sites which they determine will not be used by the family
