Welcome to Cemetery Tuesday!
The Spouse and I went on vacation of Michigan's U.P. for our 15th anniversary last July.
(Read about it here if you want)
I happened to glance up as we were cruising north on M-77 and got a quick glimpse of this row of crosses in the back of a field. I was able to look it up based on our location and I asked the Spouse to stop on the way back south.
Find A Grave says there are 9 memorials.
For not having very many interments, the large plot of land is very well kept.
Random angels in the front.
John F. & Mary Ann Levien.
They're not in Find A Grave yet, since they're both still alive.

I don't know. I think it would be weird to see my name on a headstone, waiting.
Close up of the crosses. None of them had names or anything.

How sad.

Norman F. & Marianne V. Colborn (still both alive)
Sharon M. Storms

That's a little solar light between them.
Noah Arcon

His is the only white cross that has a name.
I'm sure Mueller Township has info about who all the crosses are for and who the blank markers are for, too. Otherwise, it was a nice (brief) visit!
