Notes:
1. Originally buried on the Atwell SIMMONS homestead in Riley Township, removed to DeWitt Cemetery by
her family ca. 1890.
2. There is a CCV flag holder on this lot which is probably for Leroy who was in Co C 2 nd Cav (Civil War) but
some sources also indicate that his father, Dr. Hiram STOWELL, was a veteran of the War of 1812.
3. This may have been entered in the sexton's record in error. It is more likely that this entry was intended for lot
D26 as the STOWELL's were related to the BAKER's by marriage.
4. Military record -- "Henry H. BOND, died of disease at Nashville, Tenn., 12/12/1864. Co G 23 rd MICH INF.
5. “b. in the town of Kent, Dutchess Co., N.Y. Emmigrated to Michigan, 1839 & settled in DeWitt Twp., Clinton
Co. Removed to Essex, Clinton Co., 1854 & died Oct. 14, 1890. He was a farmer & banker.”
