This cemetery is Holy Cross(now Catholic Polish) also White-Walker/Blood.
Stictly speaking, it is Walker not Grand Rapids.
I have been hunting down the line of Lovisa Champion who was born in
Lyme, Ct 1767 and died 1812 in New Lyme, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Her parents
were Capt. Jasper(Joshua, Henry, Henry) Champion and Elizabeth CHADWICK. I
don't know if there is any relationship between these families.
