Sandhill Cemetery
Inscription
Some of Taylor’s earliest pioneers are buried in Sandhill Cemetery. Members of the Wells family, the original owners of the land upon which the cemetery is located, are interred here. Nearly all of the graves, including several for veterans of the Civil War, date from the nineteenth century. Barney Letogot, a sergeant with the Twenty-fourth Michigan Infantry, fought at Gettysburg.
The last burial, that of Fredericka Franke, took place in 1924.
