| Richard
Peters and his wife Polly (Wilcox), are
the third great grandparents of my
husband. The family migrated from
Harpersfield, New York in 1824 and
purchased about 600 acres from the US
government in Summerfield Township,
Monroe County, Michigan. Their children
(Mary and Richard) were the first and
last interments in the one-acre cemetery
which is located on the north side of
Center Street. In 2009 a group of
local volunteers began a restoration
project to repair the old
stones. As of November (2011), eighty-two
graves have been repaired, many of which
had fallen, were crooked, damaged or had
so much lichen on them they were
unreadable. Among those restored was the
Peters monument which is inscribed on one
side with Richard and his wife Polly and
on another with their three children:
Mary, Richard, Susan. On behalf of the
Peters family, I would like to publicly
thank all the volunteers who have been
working hard to preserve the old
cemetery.
