Newer portion of Sumnerville Cemetery in Alphabetical Order. If you have additional information or photos of the stones in any of the Cass County Cemeteries, please contact me at cassmichigangen@yahoo.com - Deanna West - Cass County Michigan Coordinator.
This information was gathered by examining old records and maps and a physical inventory of the cemetery. The records, as such, of the burials in this section from 1889 to the present wne an inventory was done in 1993. The records that exist today were collected mainly by looking at the tombstones in the cemetery, the DAR cemetery records and recording the information. Not all graves are marked; therefore, a number of burials in this section of the cemetery will not be recorded in this list. Every effort has been made to include all the information that is currently available into this list, but it is NOT complete nor totally accurate.
Almost as soon as the early settlers arrived in the area, there was a need for a place to bury those friends and family members who died. Many family or neighborhood cemeteries started in this way. The original beginnings of the Sumnerville Cemetery are not known. From the early burials of one person next to another by the date of interment suggests that single burial sites were sold and not cemetery lots. Later lots were sold and family members were buried together, but initially they were not.
Please also check the burials in the older portion listing if you do not find the ancestor listed below.
