Located in Section 35 of Green Oak Township this cemetery is right on the north 
side of Eight Mile Road a little east of Rushton Road and west of Pontiac 
Trail. This would be considered a medium sized cemetery and many of the stones 
are still legible, but many of the graves are also unmarked.
 
The cemetery was plotted next to the church as early as 1850. The church 
prospered until 1918 when a neighbor started a grass fire and the building 
burned down losing everything except for a few pieces of furniture. The 
cemetery lasted until 1922 and then was disbanded.  

As of April 2007 the cemetery appears to be well kept and in use once again.   
The last internment was "Bud" Martin of Martins Hwd. South Lyon in 2003.
