Very plain memorial, but locals understand the significance.
All Veterans Memorial
Oakwood Cemetery
Muir, Ionia County
Erected by the Citizens of Muir to honor the soldiers and sailors who served their country in time of war and resting here in Oakwood Cemetary.
Dedicated May 30, 1948"
A large field stone holds a simple plaque to honor those that lie here...is a very rural statement and reflects the population of that era, mostly farmers. It isn't unusual to ride along back roads in this part of the country and see piles and piles of field stone, some mark farm boundaries. For those that have lived upon this land for many generations it is a reminder of those that lived and worked here when the community was young.
