Potter's Field

Fairplain Township
Montcalm County, Michigan

The names in this cemetery were copied from a book ledger that was at Fair Haven Home at the
time I copied from it.  I only copied the names of the people that were buried in that cemetery.  However,
all markers are now gone from the cemetery and there is no way of telling where any one person was buried. ~Betty Spooner
