Southwest of Burt Lake a few miles off M-68 is the Ohioville Cemetery. The sign shows it was established in 1882. From what I could find on the maps and my reference books there was no town in Michigan called Ohioville. Many of the veterans tombstones in the historic cemetery show that they were in the Ohio Infantry. It looks as if many Buckeyes moved from Ohio and settled in the area and I am wondering if it got the unofficial nickname of Ohioville. Whatever the story is, it is a beautiful old cemetery and I can understand moving to northern Michigan from Ohio. The area around Burt Lake is where I vacation every year for the past three decades.
