Scroll down for a list of cemeteries in St. Clair County. There are images and searchable databases of burial records for many of them, as well as some tombstone photographs on the Tombstones page. Where it's known, the address and telephone number for the cemetery office or other organization responsible for the cemetery is included. The location of each cemetery is based on information obtained from DeLorme Software's Street Atlas USA program, various telephone books and/or field verification. Another source is a map printed in the 20 Aug 1995 issue of the Port Huron Times Herald, which was based on information provided by the St. Clair County Family History Group.


The "All Cemeteries Index" contains over 70,000 names and can take quite some time to load depending on your internet speed. You may wish to search by individual letter instead. All cemeteries have not yet been transcribed, so if you don't find the name of an ancestor you know is buried in St. Clair County, don't despair, simply browse the individual cemetery records. Additionally, most of the transcripts cover only through 1982 or so.


Read the cemetery key for important information about the source of materials and access to the individual transcripts.

Once you have located your ancestors in the searchable database you may then wish to view the images for the specific cemeteries, below, as they sometimes contain more information.


Credits
The images and transcripts exist thanks to the hard work of Helen Whiting, Becky Thomas, Marge Owens and Lois Wedge in reading the cemeteries many years ago; Pat Love for scanning the transcripts; Kay Mitchell, Char Ellis, Lisa Masters and others for typing the transcripts from the jpg images and other sources; all of which permitted me to create the images and searchable electronic databases. Without their many hours of volunteer labor, this resource would not be available. Please send a mental thank you to these ladies as  you peruse these indices.

Many thanks to Suzanne Frantz, Melissa Lashbrook, Debbie Smith Russell, Gloria Reeves, Kathy Hewelt, Char Ellis, Kathy Stocki, Andy Maturen, Sue Gleason, Jody Riddick, Nancy Schoenherr, Debbie Laidler and Wayne Tibbetts for adding and field-verifying several cemeteries on this page.

Baker Cemetery  (aka Willey Cemetery):

No sign. Not active. Visited in September 1999. According to our intrepid researcher Debbie Russell:

"On the north side of Jeddo Rd. a large steel gate blocks the entrance to a private road owned by Mid Michigan Materials (a gravel and stone hauling company). This property was previously the Willey family homestead. Debbie spoke with Bill Wilson, the owner of Mid Michigan Materials, and he was extremely helpful in showing her where the cemetery was. He also told her that at a later date he will be constructing a road to go up to the cemetery. He then led Debbie to a steep trail which led to the cemetery. This cemetery is extremely overgrown and in disrepair. There are many bases that no longer have stones in them. Many markers that are there are illegible. One stone at the beginning of the path through the cemetery reads: Jonathan W. MACKLEM b. Jul 1, 1826 d. Nov 13, 1900; same marker Catherine b. Jul 18, 1831 d. Feb 21, 1899. Leaning against this stone is Jonathan's Civil War marker listing him in Co. H, 4th Michigan Infantry."

Clarke (Clark) Cemetery:

This cemetery is mowed but not very well-kept, according to Debbie Smith Russell. It appears to back up to the Belle River on the north side. Burials are from the 1800s; no recent burials are evident. It's on private land, marked with yellow plastic bags. Debbie says there's no sign, but a map in the Times Herald from 20 Aug 1995 shows "Clarke Cemetery" in this location. Visited in July 1999.

Columbus Township Burying Ground  (aka Arlington Cemetery):

Suzanne Frantz visited this one in August 1998. At that time, she says it was "a most eerie place, old stones falling over and all overgrown with day lilies and vines, set among a grove of some of the biggest trees I've seen in Michigan. Although someone had re-dedicated (it) in the 70's with a wooden marker, it appears no one has maintained it." Sue notes that the area around Arlington and Gratiot Rds. was a bustling town known as Columbus (not the same as the small town on Rattle Run Rd. today). Revisited by Tom Kephart in July 1999. Revisited by Kathleen Rodegeb in June 2007. It's much the same as Suzanne reported back in 1998, except that someone has placed "wooden" tulips on many of the graves (very sweet). In spite of being eerie, it's a lovely place. Some tombstone photos have been placed on the tombstones page.

Jeddo Cemetery:

This cemetery is easy to miss; take your time as you drive along Jeddo Rd. It's on a hill north of the road, but first you park on the shoulder of the road, walk down a small grassy ravine, over an old rusty concrete bridge crossing the Burtch Creek, and then up the hill to the cemetery. Thanks to Gloria Reeves for finding this one. The grass had been cut recently, but many of the stones are hard to read or missing, and there don't appear to be any recent burials. Graves date from the 1850s, and include the following names, according to Debbie Russell: BURNS, CAMPBELL, HILL, POTTER, HOLLISTER and STREETER. Oldest marker was illegible. BURNS, died 1820. Most recent was STREETER, died 1997. Revisited by Debbie Russell in September 1999.

Kinney Cemetery

This is a very pretty and well kept cemetery outside of Port Huron. Go north on Wadhams Rd. and cross the Black River. Immediately from your right only in comes North River Rd.; ignore it and stay going north, as it turns left slightly Wadhams peels off to the right and this is where the road becomes Vincent Rd. This is all within about 1/8 of a mile, about 3/4 of a mile after this (or about 1 mile from the river) Kinney Cemetery is on your left.

Kittridge Cemetery:

This is a fairly large cemetery, well-maintained and in current use. The oldest graves date from 1848 (William R. STEUART). Newer graves are in the rear (east), oldest are in the SW corner. Visited in July 1999.

Lakeside Cemetery:

In the city of Port Huron, at the intersection of Gratiot Ave. and Holland St. Across from Lakeside Park and Lake Huron. Mt. Hope Catholic Cemetery is just north of Lakeside. City-owned public cemetery, in current use and well-maintained. Includes Veterans Cemetery.  The city of Port Huron now has maps of the cemetery online, as well as a searchable database of burials in the cemetery. This database is an incredible resource, including names of people buried in unmarked graves, the names of the grave owners in some cases, and indigent burials. Kudos to the City of Port Huron for making this resource available!

There was a cemetery in Port Huron known as Pinewood Cemetery. The city decided the cemetery land would be put to better use if the cemetery was relocated, and the project was undertaken during the late years of the 1800s. And so Lakeside Cemetery came to be the new resting place of many who were formerly buried in Pinewood (they say they still find bodies in Pinewood to this day when there is construction going on in the area). Here are some newspaper articles about the project, as well as names of the deceased who were relocated (not known to be inclusive of all relocations).

Lambs Cemetery:

Across the street from Lambs United Methodist Church. The old stones are in bad shape; many are broken and unkempt, notes Melissa Lashbrook. She suggests that researchers should go there soon, before the stones are any more illegible then they already are now. Visited in June 1999.

Lester Cemetery:

Suzanne Frantz and her husband visited this cemetery in November of 1999.  Suzanne reports that it is a very small private cemetery located on North Belle River Road by the north Marine City limits.  Belle River is right across the road.  There is a high fence around the cemetery over-grown with vines.  She could not see a way to enter. Listed on the map printed in the Times Herald, 20 Aug 1995, from information provided by the St. Clair County Family History Group.

Lown Cemetery:

Kathy Stocki tells us that this is a very old and neglected cemetery. The only landmark of the cemetery are the old cement steps going up the hill to it, which are hard to spot. The area is very overgrown. There is a stone overturned at the top of the steps. Kathy saw four "tablet" style markers, all lying on the ground, and three bigger markers still standing. The graves date from the mid-1860s. Some of the names include McNUTT, STEPHENSON and WITTUP. Andy Maturen, who also visited the site this summer, says there are probably 20 or so very old graves, dating from about 1850 to the early 1900's. Most of the graves are of Andy's ancestors, the LOWNS and McNUTTS, including great-grandparents James and Sarah McNUTT. Kathy doubts that the cemetery has been in use in the 20th century, and it has been largely absorbed into the surrounding landscape. Visited in August 1999.

Mack's Cemetery:

Listed on the map printed in the Times Herald, 20 Aug 1995, from information provided by the St. Clair County Family History Group. Debbie Russell wonders if this might be Riverlawn Cemetery, since that cemetery backs up to the golf course in Marysville on the old River Rd.

Years ago Lois Wedge was heavily involved in getting the cemetery records transcribed. She recently sent me this note about Mack's Cemetery:

"Mack Cemetery Is a private cemetery that was owned by Andrew Mack. When the Golf Course was built, they found the tombstones of Andrew and his wife Amelia. Andrew Mack was one of the first settlers in Marysville. It was on his property." Lois Wedge

In the city of Marysville, reportedly on the golf course.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Cemetery  (aka Kenockee Cemetery):

Melissa Lashbrook visited this cemetery in June 1999 and described it as "a beautiful country cemetery. The lawns and property are well manicured and cared for. What was the most impressive was the tombstones, which were huge, old, ornate monuments. It was nice to visit a cemetery that the names were at eye level." Sue Gleason's mother-in-law is 90 years old and knows many stories of the residents of the surrounding area. Sue has been told that many of the cemetery records were destroyed in a fire in the mid 1960's. She may be developing additional resources for the cemetery in the future ... stay tuned! The historic Kenockee School is near the cemetery location.

"In 1850 Pine Wood Cemetery was established, going from Suffern St. (now Glenwood) north to the alley above Lincoln Ave. and from Fort Gratiot Reservation on the east to near 10th Street on the west. Pine Wood was Port Huron's cemetery until Lakeside was established about the end of the century. Many bodies were moved to the new cemetery, but in a number of cases the wooden boxes in which they had been buried had disintegrated. So whenever the basement for a new house was dug, bones would be found."

Relocations from Pinewood to Lakeside

In the city of Port Huron; it was in the area of the intersection of Glenwood Ave. and Kearney St., north of the Black River and parallel to Huron Ave.

Tibbetts Road Cemetery

Visited in September 1999. Nancy Schoenherr provides the following account of her visit to this overgrown site:

"The condition of the cemetery is very poor, finding it was almost impossible. We asked a lady living on the road, she directed us to it. We walked through waist-high brambles, over fallen trees, very "nasty" overgrowth. The first stone was located a distance from the four others we found there. It was nearly unreadable, but we got the following: Lemuel JONES, Nov. 21, 1883, Aged 50 yrs. Quite a distance away we located the four following: Joseph KING, Oct. 9, 1885, 79 yrs. 4 mos. 10 days; Dorothy KING, May 16, 1871, no age readable; small stones, one unreadable except for the word "David"; the small second stone: Joseph Abner, May, 1864, 9 hrs. old. There were broken pieces of grave stones in the area of the last four, which didn't match up with these stones. There could be more graves there without markers, or markers missing, because the undergrowth of lilies, live-forever, and various other old cemetery type flowers were growing in quite a large area. This was an interesting place to visit; however, there were no Tibbits graves to be found in that area."

Listed on the map printed in the Times Herald, 20 Aug 1995, from information provided by the St. Clair County Family History Group. The cemetery was recently visited by Debbie Laidler, who reports:

"Williams Cemetery is located in the middle of a farming field in a copse of trees.  It is located on Mayer Road between Yager Road and Frith Road.  It is heavily over grown and I believe it to be private property.  Many of the stones were knocked over and hard to read.  It was like walking into a forest.  We did a lot of searching just to find the stones ... I will try to keep you posted on our progress of restoring once we get started. I wanted to send you some pictures that I took while at the cemetery."
