This is a partial list of tombstones in the “Banta” or “Blossom” cemetery on Shannon Road in Leonidas township. The information was compiled over the past 25 years by Gilbert family members, and generously contributed by Ginny Day. Most of the headstones are of sandstone and are becoming difficult to read!
