Book Title: History Of Oceana County

Among the archeological wonders found in this county, may be mentioned the 
round stones, which are evidently the work of an early race of men; the 
purpose for which they were made being purely conjectural.  They are of 
various sizes, but are all as if turned in a lathe, the grain of the stone 
running in an opposite direction to the turning.  They are liable to cleavage 
in the centre.  They are found in many parts; we have seen them in Elbridge, 
Golden and other townships.  They may have been "medicine stones," or possibly 
for bruising corn.
