Hicks Cemetery, Watson Twp, Allegan Co, MI
...From a list prepared 1937 by Ruth Robbins Monteith
Hicks Cemetery is a small but old burying ground on Section 24 and was 
originally a part of the Hicks farm.  The oldest stone is that of Leliah 
Hicks d. Mar. 28, 1839.  One acres was purchased by the township some time 
after 1843.  Neither township clerk nor Sexton has a plat or early records. 
There are many graves that have no markers. By 1997 many of these stones 
were unreadable, and there are more gravesites not listed on this 1937 list.
