There are many old tombstones with only a few down or broken. Cemetery is fenced and is frequently mowed by the township personnel. First burial 1819. Cemetery overlooks the picturesque Loramie Valley. A little to the souchwest stands the old homestead of Peter Wright who is buried here. This home was built in 1854, of brick and now painted white, and in early colonial style, it has the year 1854 in bold numerals across the eastern front of the house, which is on the south and east of a turn in the Houston Road. About one- quarter mile to the west is the little hamlet of Dawson, once a thriving canal town and grain center. It was known as Speer's Landing in 1834, and in the 70's as Patrick's Station, and in the 80's as its present name of Dawson. Samuel McClure was the first setteler of this community coming here in 1811. He is buried here although his grave is unmarked. Samuel's little log cabin was south of Loramie Creek and on the high ground south of the Akin HOme on Houston Road. Stephen Blanchard came to this ssection in 1832, from Andover, Mass. He operated the first tan yard in Cynthian Twp. and was succeeded by Sam Wright. A 'New Light' church was established on the site of this graveyard in 1833, which is long since gone. This church was torn down in 1852, and a new church built in Mount Jefferson the same year. Headstone of Abigail McClure, appx. 1-1/2 foot high and 7inches across and 2 inches thick, fashioned out of a slab of native limestone - evidently by one of the family, letters and figures crudley cut. 1822 at top with name Abibail Mc-, with the Clure omitted.
