Here Are the 6 Most Famous People Buried in Battle Creek’s Oak Hill Cemetery
Now that I've been back in my home state for over a year now, I'm having fun re-discovering my home and playing tourist in my own back yard.
For as well as I thought I knew the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek area, I'm learning that I've only just begun to scratch the surface!

Is that weird?
I knew there were a handful of notable Michigan residents buried in one of Battle Creek's largest and oldest cemeteries, but I didn't realize just how many there were!
