Welcome to Prattville Cemetery


Wright Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan


In the History of Hillsdale County printed in 1879 we find the village of Prattville mentioned as a “village of modern growth”. In 1866 Wellington and Henry Pratt came form Farmingham, Massachusetts to the village having William Bennett, Amos Clark, Nicholas Kipp and Urian Mackey already residing about a half mile each way from the corners. A post office had been established called “cass” and the succession of postmasters given in the 1879 publication was as follows: Timothy Johnson 1848-death, Edwin Brewster about 1855, Edwin C. Brewster 1864, Henry M. Pratt 1867.
The name of the settlement was changed to Prattville about 1872. The Messrs, Pratt had a store but they also engaged in lumbering and Mr. J.T. Perry came, also from Massachusetts, in 1868 to operate a sawmill.

Prattville Cemetery was also known as Emans Cemetery in the recent past.

Cache is a very small camoed lock & lock, small enough for maybe a geocoin or two.

Congrats to Rockin Roddy for the FTF!!
