Pine Ridge Cemetery

More than 200 veterans of the Civil War are buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery. An 1863 Civil War siege cannon mutely stands guard over Soldier's and Sailor's Rest, rows of white headstones encircling a Grand Army of the Republic spire erected in 1885. Nearby lay the graves of Judge James Birney, Michigan lieutenant governor in 1861 and Minister to the Hague in Holland under President Grant; Andrew J. Walton, member of the elite Berdan's Sharpshooters; and two members of the 102nd U.S. Colored Troops, as well as several rare burials of U.S. Navy veterans of the Civil War.
