Summit Cemetery (Williamston Village) (Williamstown Township, Ingham) Beeman Road Williamston, MI USA (517) 655-3193 From the Pioneer History of Ingham County (page 829):
The cemetery grounds belonged to a company incorporated under a state law of 1856. Among the incorporators were J.M. Williams, Nelson Loranger, J.B. Taylor, George B. Fuller, Horatio Pratt, and John S. Vanneter. The incorporators organized February 7, 1800 and on the first day of May of that year purchased of Webster Harvey and wife a little over three acres of land (a few years ago more land was purchased from the same party.)
The lot is elibibly situated on rolling ground, with a soil composed mainly of sand and grael, and admirably adapted for burial purposes. Hundreds of dololars have been expended in laying out ornamenting, and improving it and it is kep in good condition.
There was another burial grund situated on Church street southeast of Williams' Corners, that was bused before the incorporation of the Summit Cemetery Association. Only a limited number of burials were made there and they were removed to Summit Cemtery. This was also true of a small burial place just on the west end of town.
Mac Donnelly is the Sexton.
