Obit Summary from Find a Grave:
Jonathan Ingalls served in the Revolutionary War. He and his family became the first permanent settlers in Sebewa Township.
The body of Jonathan Ingalls lies in a field a short distance south of Sebewa Corners. The stone marking the burial is placed close to the roadside where it may easily be read by those who pass.
The stone was prepared from native Ionia county rock by John Shell of Ionia and was designed with taste as well as with a thought to permanency.
Mrs. Levi Marshall, regent of the chapter (Stevens Thompson Mason Daughters of the American Revolution) led the ceremonies. Following the reading of the ritual the purpose of the placing of the stone and some of the projects of the Chapter were told by Miss Kate L. Benedict, former regent. She stated that the work done by the Chapter is conducted largely to preserve for posterity the interesting and historical facts and legends concerning Michigan and to make it as interesting a place through which to travel as many historic places in the east are today.
Mrs. Marshall formally presented the red granite monument to the public as Geer Smith and Marian Morse drew the cords which raised the American flag from the cut surface of the rock.
At the grave of Jonathan Ingalls the ceremony was brief, but impressive. Mrs. D. L. Spaulding, a granddaughter of the Revolutionary War veteran, read a brief account of his life before the assembled crowd. According to the facts given by her, Ingalls was born in Exeter, N. H. May 4, 1762.
Entering the Revolutionary War at the same time that his father did, when the youth was but 13 years of age, he served throughout the entire war, which won for the colonies their freedom from the British government. He was with the forces commanded by Gen. Benedict Arnold when, angered by what he thought insufficient recognition for his valuable services at Saratoga and by a rebuke from George Washington later, he planned to surrender his forces to the British.
Mr. Ingalls served through the entire war. He came to live in Sebewa Township about 1837. He was previously married in 1785 to Abigail Cleveland, an aunt of former President Grover Cleveland, of the United States. Mr. Ingalls died October 2, 1843.
Rev. W. K. Spencer gave the principal address at the unveiling ceremony. He pleaded for the type of loyalty to the nation which actuated Jonathan Ingalls to withstand the privations of the Revolutionary War. He urged that people of today be more mindful of what our forefathers did to make the nation great and to strive to set an equally fine example to our descendants. Inscription: There are two headstones that mark this grave. The first one was erected in 1921 and reads "Jonathan Ingalls Soldier of the Revolution. Erected by by Stevens Thompson Mason Chapter D.A.R. 1921" The second stone carries a plaque that reads "Jonathan Ingalls Capt. Smith's Third Co. Col. Baldwin's Regt. NH Volunteers
