Indian Burying Ground
Lyons, Ionia County, Michigan, USA
The Indian burying ground at Lyons, Michigan. Located on the west bank of the river at Lyons, noted as between the bridge and the school-house.
Chief Cocoosh was supposedly buried there.
The other account states Cocoosh was buried on the left bank of the river, in front of what was then the Sons of Temperance Hall...and a picket fence painted red was around his grave.
Described on page 241 of the book titled, "History of Ionia and Montcalm Counties Michigan, With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Their Prominent Men and Pioneers," by John S. Schenck, published in 1881.
Also described on page 73 of the book titled, "Memorials of the Grand River Valley," by Franklin Everett, published in 1878.
The cemetery location is approximate.
