Here is a little history I found on the cemetery .Cass County Poor Farm aka Potter's Field or Rest Haven Cemetery is located on Hospital Street, 1 1/4 miles West of M62. Graves in Potter's Field were originally marked with wooden headstones or crosses prior to the 1960's, these have since vanished. Those buried were indigent residents of the Cass Co. Medical Facility located just east of the cemetery. In a partial survey there are approximately 46 known burials most all of those were buried from the 1960's forward, Prior to the 1960's it is unclear if an records of who was buried were kept. Some of the records were destroyed but it is unknown what records and for what years. There are several unmarked graves on the east side and only a few stones in the entire cemetery
