(Lake Township)
Section 25

From “The History of Berrien and Van Buren Counties, Michigan”, published by D. W. Ensign and Company in 1880:
 
“The cemeteries of the township are small and were conveniently located to afford internments in the several neighborhoods formed by the early settlers.  The first was opened in 1850, on the northeast corner of section 25.  Some of these are neatly kept and contain appropriate monuments to the memories of those who had been among the pioneers of the county.”
 
No documentation can be found regarding this cemetery but currently, section 25 encompasses land directly south of the Bridgman city limits bordering I-94 and northern boundary of Warren Dunes State Park.
