Mr. Robert Strobel, who's wife is a direct descendant of the Skinner Family, and who lives across the highway from the Family Cemetery, was kind enough to share some information with me about the land it self. Mr. Strobel believes that there are also Indian Burials in the center of the Cemetery where the land has sunk 6' to 8'. The land was originally owned by Mr. Oramel Skinner, his brother John D. Skinner owned the land on the other side of the highway. He also stated that this land was a sort of trading post for the Indians, as the area was the crossroad that the Indian's used regularly. This information was obtained from Cemetery Records held at the Windsor Twp., Dimondale, Eaton County, Michigan. The Cemetery was walked and photographed on August 22, 2008, Photo taken where noted (P), available upon request.
