Thank you in advance for your help.

Actually it was called "Spoonerville". I remember seeing references to it, but can't recall exactly where it was.

Hi Merryann According to a copy of an old section map I have of Ottawa County Spoonville as it is spelled on this map was located in Crockery Township on Cockery creek just above the Grand River between section 26 and section 26. My GG Grand Mother was buried their. A fire went through the cemetery and her family reburied her in the Nunica cemetery. I hope this helps.
