WHITE CEMETERY is located
approximately 1 mile south of Marcellus Highway on Glenwood Road in Section 26,
across from the White School. You follow a lane beside a house on the east side
of the road to the cemetery.

the Wayne Township Board the following piece of property for a burying

For the consideration of one dollar. The deed was recorded June 14, 1853 Property description as follows: Commencing at a point five chains, and forty eight links east and fifty links north of the west quarter post of Section N 26 Town 5 South of Range N. 15 west thence east seventy five links.

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 or photos of the stones in any of the Cass County Cemeteries, please contact me at cassmichigangen@yahoo.com Deanna West - your new Cass County Michigan Coordinator.
Any time you view an older cemetery, in no matter what county through out the USA, the listing should be considered as a partial listing as many times records are either destroyed through mishap or not all burials were recorded.
