In 1868 the Williams Township Board of Health authorized a township burial ground and voted to purchase land for that purpose. In 1871 the board purchased five acres previously designated for school purposes from the state of Michigan for twenty dollars. The cemetery contains seventy nineteenth-century graves; the oldest is dated 1871. The center lot of the original plat is the "Soldiers' Mound," where Memorial Day services have been held. Many of the township's pioneers are interred here, but the most unusual monument honors Jess M. Almond, who died in 1908. Almond was a member of the Woodmen of the World; his marker depicts a tree trunk and cut logs.
Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable.
Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
