Many of my ancestors are buried in this cemetery.  Among them are my 
grandparents, Charles and Anna (Flom) Norris; his father, Daniel Newton 
Norris, and his mother, Songe Kishing Go-Quay.  She was of Ojibway (Chippewa) 
ancestry and many of her siblings and their families are believed buried 
there also. (The name Songe Kishing Go-Quay is Chippewa language and Quay 
means woman. It translates into "Strong Skies Woman.") 

Charles Wesley Norris, brother of Daniel Newton Norris, is buried there as 
well as his son, Walter Norris, and his first wife, Lucy, and some of his 
family.  Charles Wesley Norris was a Civil War veteran.

Roland Winslow "Duck" Deering is believed to be the first person buried in 
this cemetery.  He had come with his family from Pennsylvania and was a 
surveyor.  Charles "Manny" Norris is believed to be the last person buried 
in this cemetery.
