DuBois Cemetery
Every Road, Alaiedon Township, Ingham County, Mason, Michigan

This photograph shows the condition of DuBois Cemetery before the massive 
cleanup effort that took place in July and August of 2007.  The cemetery had 
been ignored, neglected, and truly abandoned since the 1940's.  Both the 
public easement and cemetery grounds were nearly impassable.  Tombstones had 
become buried, toppled over, broken, or completely covered with field grass 
and brush.  Many local residents did not know DuBois Cemetery existed even 
though they drove by it on a daily basis.  In October of 2007, after media 
coverage and strong urging from Township residents, descendants, and cleanup 
volunteers, the Alaiedon Township Board stated that they would not allow 
DuBois Cemetery to revert back to its previous condition.
