Who's Buried in These Graves in Front of the Prison on Cooper St?

Jackson Prison, Michigan State Penitentiary, Southern Michigan Prison, Michigan Dept. This unassuming, small cemetery has a weathered sign out front that reads: ‘Pease Cemetery – an Early Settlers Cemetery’. Interestingly, there are three people buried here with the last name “Pease” – Fannie Pease (died 1853), Lyman Pease (1861), and what appears to be their 1-year-old baby girl, Ida Pease (1853). Lyman Pease was indeed the first settler in the territory that became the township, arriving here in 1830 and setting up a homestead on a patch of land that now includes the Cooper Street Correctional Facility, across from the prison.
