Adamsville Cemetery is located in Section 12 of Adamsville Road and May Street, 1 & 12/2 miles south of US 12 in Ontwa Township.

The following listing and pages were stone readings and research compiled by: Amelia Castle and Nancy Corwin in 1997. The compiler's work includes the old walk records done by the DAR in the 1940's and Amelia and Nancy's walking and reading the cemetery. The sexton at that time decided not participate in aiding the information for unmarked graves. Therefore, if anyone has information on any graves not shown in our listings and want them to appear in this index, please send the information along with source to us.

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 on the burials in any of the Cass County Cemeteries, please contact me at cassmichigangen@yahoo.com
Deanna West -Cass County Michigan Coordinator.

In reading this cemetery, start at the Southeast corner and going North on each row, including crossing the drive.
