Maps of Marne-Berlin Cemetery

The Marne Cemetery Lies on the bank of Sand Creek. Although the cemetery is actually in
Tallmadge Township, Section 2, Town 7 north, 13 west, it is maintained by Wright Township.

This cemetery is located in the village of Marne (name changed from Berlin to Marne during the
World War but the cemetery is still known as Berlin. Many old people are buried on this site,
but not much attention was given to records. With the assistance of Mr. Glenn Bingham, sexton, I was able to copy from burial permits many other names. In regards to its age, the first burial was made in 1841 (Lucia Lockwood Monroe, wife of William, a pioneer of Kent County) 1855.
Another one was Aaron Bell, 1781-1848. My last visit for inscriptions was November, 1938.
(Per Mr. Mohnke who gave this information to the Library of Michigan.)

Their homely joys and destiny obscure

Nor grandeur hear with disdainful smile

The short and simple annals of the poor.

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power

All that beauty, all that wealthy ere gave

Awaits alike the inevitable hour

The paths of glory lead but to the grave."

Thomas Gray
