CLIFF CEMETERY TRANSCRIPTION

Listed as Hillside Cemetery on Maps

Keweenaw County Michigan


This cemetery is located on Cliff Drive in Keweenaw County at the old Cliff Mines site at the bottom of Cliff Range. It has few stones left but many depressions. We searched the depressions but could find no stones that had perhaps broken and were covered by the forest floor and overgrowth.
