Greenfield twp. Detroit. My ancestor John F.C. Meyer donated the land for the cem. The cem. itself has not been taking care of and has had extensive damage done to it and there are broken, tipped over and missing headstones as well as new graves. The cem. was full many years ago yet now there are new burials there. These are the people I have there. It is a very small cem., I would say not even an acre. As far as I can tell there is no one currently taking care of it. I called the city and several others for information. It is very difficult to find anyone who has any information about it. There are no books surviving as to who is buried there. And theres only about maybe 50 graves all together in it. Many graves are broken and unreadable. There are signs up all over that are asking anyone with information on who did all the damage. There is a pile of headstones pieces in the corner, like someone had broken them all up so you could not read them. The cem. looks very empty, the graves are scattered and it looks as though there were more of them at one time but now are gone. The remaining graves are on the west side, theres really nothing on the east side.
