I was driving thru Lapeer county one Sunday afternoon when I came across this little cemetery.
There was no sign, so I had to look it up on Find A Grave.
Initial research didn't turn up anything unusual, so let's just enjoy!
Surrounded by corn fields.
Most of the burials were from the late 1800s, with a few from the early 1900s.
