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.
Besides those listed of
the marked graves in this cemetery, there are nineteen unmarked graves
within the cemetery itself. Many years ago when I visited the cemetery
there were also some graves outside the fenced in perimeter but those graves
are now no longer visible. I am sure there are many Indians buried in and
around this cemetery who are distant relatives of mine through my great-grandmother,
Soonge Kishing Go-Quay.
