Founded in 1911 by families who came from Indiana, Illinois, and White Cloud, Michigan. The community gradually left after the death of their bishop, Peter Yoder, in 1928. The caretaker, Mrs. Ray Rogers of Hope, MI, at this reading October 31, 1998 is 94. She is very knowledgeable about the cemetery and the early history of Mills and Larkin Townships.
