Newspaper item concerning Lansing Cemetery:

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP

Ward B. Miller, of Cleveland, Ohio, a retired Michigan lumberman, visited Saturday, August 4th with J. V. Noble and family. Mr. Miller was born in the vicinity of Flint lake. His father enlisted for the Civil war while his mother, with three little children, went to Ohio to live with her parents, during her husband's service. The soldier father is buried in the country graveyard on the Rand farm, near Suman, where about 80 other pioneer residents are buried and the ground is now mostly consumed by the farm and partly cultivated. The purpose of Mr. Miller's visit to Porter county is to redeem this cemetery and in the near future the ground will be surveyed and referenced. Any who are interested in this matter can assist Mr. Miller at any time in locating the graves of their relatives.
