Historical Gems


John Johnston's Burial Site-Riverside Cemetery-Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

The Sault has a rich history that rivals that of any other community. But sometimes you just have to seek it out on your own. The Sault sometimes doesn't brag enough about the importance this area has played in the history of our state and country.

One such story is the John Johnston family. Their home is open during the summer with programs to introduce you to their story. Recently, I took my granddaughters to see the burial spot of John & Susan Johnston. They are buried in Riverside Cemetery. Take the first driveway and go to the back-in the northwest corner.

Thanks for posting the grave marker photos. I wish someone could post mp3's with the proper pronunciation of the Indian names, too!

I think that is a good idea. I'll look into it. Brenda
