MI, IONIA COUNTY:  THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR, Bulletin Of The Sebewa Center Association.  Volume 14, February 1979, Number 4.  Submitted With Permission Of Current Editor Grayden D. Slowins. February 1979
LITTLE ORVILLE HAS LOST HIS FLAG 
The Michigan Veterans Trust Fund Board of Trustees has recently made inquiry of 
local officials as to whether the local cemeteries may have any unmarked 
veterans’ graves or if any government headstones or bronze plaques might be 
held in storage rather than being placed on veterans’ graves.  That brings us 
to the list of graves that have flag holders and have had flags placed in the 
holders each year for many a year in the past.  

The graves in the EAST CEMETERY so marked are:
Frank H. Rathburn, Heman S. Brown, Jacob W. Evans, J. Snow Peabody, Elmer J. 
Showerman, Irving A. Brown, Nick DeVries, Rollin Derby, Ernest Showerman, Carl 
McClelland, Walter Luscher, Ross Tran, Joseph Schnabel, William H. Pettingill;
William Lumbert, Jacob Showerman, Jonah Carpenter, Samuel Bigham, Dr. G. W. 
Snyder, Charles Hiar, Annis M. Hiar, Nathanial N. Tidd, John R. Petrie, Charles 
Deatsman, Charles A. Nichols, George E. Friend, John P. Franks, Alonzo N. 
Evans, J. H. McClelland, John Cross, Orlando V. Showerman, Myrtle D. Showerman, 
Allan B. Lippencott, Wm. H. Southwell, John M. Bradley, A. L. Olmstead, G. W. 
Lusk, Dale Tran, Glenn Fender, Wm. Showerman, Cecil Tackett.

In the BAPTIST CEMETERY:
L. J. Heaton, George Trumpower, Oren Daniels, H. Rodegeb, H. Bates, J. C. 
Clark, D. W. Goddard, H. Evans, Stephen York, Burton Daniels, Elkanah 
Carpenter, J. S. M. Peabody, J. S. Henry, Stephen Everest, Cleon Creighton.

The George Trumpower grave is not marked with a headstone.  For many years the 
name of Orville Albro has been on this list.  Dr. Orville Albro was wonce a 
resident physician of Sebewa Corners and was health officer in 1872.  Soon 
after that he moved to Portland and he is buried in the Portland Cemetery.  The 
Orville Albro in our East Cemetery was the doctor’s infant son.
