Collection: Homer Township Cemetery - Midland
Homer Township Cemetery, was designated as an Official State of Michigan Historical site on September 19, 1991 after data, collected by Kenneth Dice and Joe DuFort was submitted to the State. The original area is the only area that has this status. Homer Township takes care of the Cemetery. Homer Cemetery may have been established as early as 1836 and some of the first burials may have been Native Americans, however no markers have been found to verify this. The information came from some long time residents of the township and had been passed down from other generations. Resident and Non-Residents may purchase lots. The lot price for residents is different then that of a Non-resident. The reason for this is that a resident pays for up keep of the cemetery in the operating milage in their taxes and non-residents do not pay a Homer Township milage.
