There is no sign for the cemetery.  It is located up on the hill on the south 
side of Beckley Road, east of Capital Ave.
 "Legend has it that in the early eighteen hundreds, an old soldier of the 
Revolutionary War wandered into the little commnity adjoining what is now the 
City of Battle Creek, Michigan.  He was ill and passed away soon after 
arriving.  The ground was covered with snow except for a bare spot on a hill on 
the Dubois farm. With the consent of Peter Dubois-he was buried on this sopt 
and this act was the beginning of the Dubois Cemetery." Found in the 1938 
Cemetery readings by the DAR Battle Creek Chapter.
