Collings Cemetery is located in section 29 of Ravanna Township, approximately three miles east of Princeton. From Princeton, go east on highway 136 to the first gravel road to the right. Go south approx 1/2 mile. The cemetery is on top of the hill west of the road. Collings Cemetery was once totally abandoned and overgrown, but has recently been cleared. Although it is not routinely maintained, it is accessible by foot. The following list has been compiled from various sources including old surveys, burial records and family histories.
