OGEMAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN

TUCKER CEMETERY


Tucker Cemetery is located in Rose Township, Ogemaw County, Michigan; Township 24 North, Range 3 East, Section 27--the southwest corner of the northeast quarter of the northeast quarter. Driving directions are: west side of Trail Road, one and one half miles north of Rose City Road going west of Rose City. This description, taken from a 1963 copy of "Michigana", best describes the cemetery: "This old cemetery is located in the Ogemaw Hills area several miles north of West Branch, the County Seat, of Ogemaw County. This is the old lumbering territory and the plains are now covered with second growth jack pines and other trees. The written records of burials burned and only these few stones remain. There also are a few wooden ones that have weathered smooth."

The cemetery has been a party spot for teens for many years so most tombstones have now been destroyed or removed. In recent years a group of local citizens, including the Rose City Historical Society, have taken it upon themselves to clean up this cemetery. Dead trees have been removed and the area has been mowed. New wooden crosses have been placed on graves where burials are known, but depressions in the earth speak of many unmarked burials. This cemetery is among the earliest in Ogemaw County.

Anyone knowing of additional burials in the cemetery is asked to send the information to The Rose City Historical Society, Post Office Box 736, Rose City, MI 48654
