Williams Cemetery


This is the oldest burial ground in Miami township. The land was donated by Nathaniel Williams in 1831 or 1832, but he never executed a deed for the same, and his heirs by John Williams, on March 5, 1877, conveyed to the trustees of Williams cemetery of Cass county, to-wit: G. V. Patton, S. E. Williams and E. G. Miller, one and thirty-nine one hundredths acres in the northwest corner of section 29, Miami township. This is quite a large cemetery, finely located on rolling and sloping ground, and fairly well kept. The earliest interments: Mrs. Van Dorn, 1831 or 1832; Mrs. Bowyer, 1834.
