In the History of Van Buren and Berrien Counties, Michigan published in 1880, the following is written:
“The village grave-yard first used is still to be seen, but it has long been a disused, forlorn-looking place. Four or five weed-covered graves, surrounded by a picket fence, are there, and near there is what is said to be an Indian mound, where Indian bodies were once buried, and where bones have been turned over by the pioneer plowshare. In the old grave-yard John Stronner buried two children, and there also Mr. Miller, a brother of James Redding’s wife was buried.”
