Ruggles Cemetery


Located 1/2 mile North of Lemon Creek Road on Stevensville-Baroda Road, North of the Village of Baroda.  Thomas Phillipps settled in Section 2 of Lake Township in 1836. In the spring of 1837 he sold the mill site on his land to Peter Ruggles and Erastus Munger, who built a saw mill the same year.  It is likely that this cemetery and Ruggles Road derived their name from the Peter Ruggles family.
