PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE ENTERING CEMETERY.
Cemetery cache, cache NOT located in the cemetery so cemetery rules don't apply. Park and grab.
This abandonded cemetery has only a handful of graves, all remaining headstones are broken, most illegible. Photos of each stone found included with this cache listing. Only known names are William Mead and a girl named Esther Ann. Not much to see. The cemetery boundaries are hard to decifer and three sides are PRIVATE PROPERTY. Although Michigan law states anyone with their hearts in the right place can enter cemeteries during daylight hours, please respect the no trespassing signs. Poison ivy is pretty bad here as well. With that said, William Mead and Esther Ann are both buried in the center of the cemetery at the western edge in the clearing before the main woods, marked by an approximate waypoint. The graves inside the trees are not legible.
History: This is an old pioneer cemetery and judging from the style and make up of each stone, it was used in the 1870-1890 era, and not active very long. William Mead was involved in Goodland Township politics and a local farmer. Most of the township burials were in West Goodland Cemetery to the south, or the ones in Imlay City or Brown City. Goodland was one of the smallest populated townships during this time.
