The ghost town of Leetsville can be found down a dirt road in the Kalkaska County, Michigan township of Rapid River.
Leetsville began as a post office in 1875 and was a station on the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad, just a few miles north of Kalkaska. Other than a depot, there wasn t much else in the town except for a general store, school, the Tiffany Shingle Mill, and sawmill, which manufactured both hardwood and pine.
1905: Population 100.
1918: Population, still 100.
Other than that, Leetsville would be pretty much your ordinary, average former Michigan lumber town...except for one thing.a certain person buried in the local graveyard.
