EMMANUEL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH CEMETERY BURIALS

This cemetery is associated with Emmanuel United Methodist Church in Oregon Township on Old State Road 3 between Marysville and Otisco. A few headstones

The large, active cemetery is immediately adjacent to the church building.  A large lot on the opposite side of the church building was recently donated to the church and is just beginning to be used as additional burial space.  There are only 4 graves in the new section as of the Summer of 1999.
