REAMES/NORTON CEMETERY
Jefferson Township
Cass County Michigan

aOverview

Updated: May 1, 2013

Location: Cemetery is located in the Southeast corner of the southwest 1/4 of Section 12, Jefferson Township is located about 1 mile east of the junction of Cemetery Street and Robinson Road.

The following reading was done by Amelia Castle and Nancy Corwin in the late 1990's. Beginning in the southwest corner of the cemetery and reading the rows from south to norhth then the next row is north to south and so on, across the cemetery. On the west side of the west side, lotts numbered 199 & 200 & 186 come together at the norht end of the cemetery in the form of a "v".

For an index and complete reading of this cemetery, with row locations, contact Amelia Castle for her book.

Please keep in mind that the sites on Cass County were constructed by volunteers and are being maintained by volunteers. If you have additional information or photos of the stones in any of the Cass County Cemeteries, please contact me at   cassmichigangen@yahoo.com

Any time you view an older cemetery, in no matter what county through out the USA, the listing should be considered as a partial listing as many times records are either destroyed through mishap or not all burials were recorded.
