SOOP CEMETERY
VAN BUREN TWP., MICHIGAN 2012
This small cemetery contains many small graves, some dating back as far as the revolutionary war. There are a few members of the Soop family here, including Elizabeth Soop, who is rumored to have been a witch. She was not. Her tombstone has the symbol of an organization connected to the Odd Fellows called the Rebekah's. The Rebekah Lodges were founded in 1851 as a sub-order of the Odd Fellows. Their purpose was to serve their communities in various charitable ways.
