Photos contributed by: Jody Glynn Patrick and placed on site July 22, 2007 This cemetery is located on the west side of the southwest 1/4 of the southwest 1/4 of section 15, LaGrange Township. It lies west of M62, midway b etween Cassopolis and Dowagiac, and about 1/2 mile south of Lake LaGrange.
Shurte Cemetery was set off by Isaac Shurte, on land owned by him. This was done soon after the township was begun. The first burial was a son of Mr and Mrs William R Wright. The Wright's were Mrs. Shurte's Parents.
Please keep in mind that the sites on Cass County were constructed by
volunteers and are being maintained by volunteers. If you have additional

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.
