Reeves Cemetery
Location: Jackson township in Section 28
The graves listed here were in three cemeteries
that were disinterred to create Cataract
Lake and they are now located in a section of the Cunot Cemetery.
The following list is created from a plot map made by the engineers who did the
disinterrment on July 20, 1950.
Three areas were disinterred because of the Cataract Lake project;
1. The Shrake Cemetery;
2. Reeves Cemetery;
3. Unnamed Cemetery.
(Debbie's note:) For the benefit of our researchers I will include all of these under the listing of the
Reeves Cemetery as they appear,
with notations made by the engineers.
