Donaldson Cemetery is located on Highway M-129 and 13 mile rd. The cemetery is divided into two parts. One side is visible from the highway and the other is across the road (13 mile - dirt road) behind the Donaldson Presbyterian Church.
This Cemetery is well-kept and the stones are in good condition. It contained some rather old stones, dating anywhere from early 1800's to present. It is still used for current burials.
The Neebish Island Presbyterian Cemetery is considerably larger, with
approximately 75+
gravesites. It is located on Cumming Road. The Church is located
on the property and the cemetery is behind it. This cemetery also looks
to be kept in good condition. A majority of the graves were legible,
with very few unmarked. There were current burials here which indicated
it is still widely used.
We were able to drive into both cemeteries a short distance and then we walked the rest.
SITE INSPECTION: Large Cemetery located on M-129 near Sault Ste.
Marie, holding several hundred gravesites. The burials in the cemetery
are not older than probably 50 years. A small chapel is set in the
center of the cemetery and at one end is the main office which is open
seven days a week. The cemetery is well maintained on a regular basis
and is one of the largest and most attractive in Chippewa County.
It contains about a dozen large statues and monuments for viewing.
There are Memorial Services held at the cemetery annually for Veteran's
Day, Memorial Day and Christmas.
