Historic View of Parnell, 
Grattan Township, Kent County, Michigan

This photo shows the St. Patrick's cemetery and church at the corner of Parnell Road and 5 Mile Road NE in Grattan township of Kent County, Michigan, United States of America. It appears to have been taken in the 1950s since the old Bresnahan/Doran combined home and store has been demolished near the other buildings across 5 Mile Road from the church. There is a school and rectory next to the church, just outside this picture. There is no map of the cemetery, but there are online tombstone readings, and the church office is cooperative with regard to church records of birth/baptism, marriage, and deaths.
