Southfield Cemetery
A group of early settlers known as "The Proprietors of the Burying Grounds" purchased the original one acre of land from Thaddeus Griswald on April 8, 1833 at the cost of $8.00. The Proprietors continued to operate the burying grounds until 1847 when it was deeded to the Township of Southfield. At the same time the township purchased 2½ acres of land costing $37,50. Additions since 1847 make a total of 5.6 acres at this time.| HM Number | HM22UF |
