Eureka

Eureka Township, Montcalm County, Michigan

The cemetery was first copied by Mrs. Betty Spooner in May of 1973.
Inscriptions after that date were copied by Judy Hardy and Marnie Riley on July 18, 1995.
There are a lot of metal funeral home markers in this cemetery.
Mrs. Spooner also copied names taken from an early plat map, names to whom certificates for burial lots had been issued, and the early record of interments.  The later has been incorporated into the tombstone list.
