Re: Drach from Berrien County
Realize yours is an 'old' message so you probably have this info by now:Anton Drach, b 10-Jan-1833, d 3-May-1910.He is buried in the Kniebes Cemetery near Coloma, MI in Berrien Co.We use to live on a farm across the street from Bill and Delores Drach and Bill (William's) father owned a farm next to the Kniebes Cemetery.Bill and his father are both deceased now, but I know Anton was their ancestor.The Kniebes Cemetery land was donated by my gr-gr-gr-grandfather, Jacob Kniebes, and his son, Peter Kniebes when the first of the German settlers in Bainbridge Township (where the cemetery is located) died.This cemetery land was a corner of his farm at that time.Hope this helps you a little.Barb
PSBelieve the James Drach referred to in another message is a younger brother of Bill Drach.Believe he is, or was, a police officer, in Benton Township.
