Musser (Union) Cemetery

Submitted by Robert W. Gierman, R 1, Portland, MI June 8, 1975

     Musser Cemetery is near the northwest corner of section 19 of Portland Twp. Ionia Co., MI on Keefer Highway. This is completely overgrown with trees, ivy and myrtle. Most of the stones are flattened.
     I found this information in Robt. Gierman's collection! This is where he checked it out in 1975. I don't know if this is complete but here is what he has!  Submitted by Theresa Sweet
