Goodrich Cemetery
Pittsford Township

In Section 14; on the north side of M-34 in the 1300 block, about 41/2 miles east of Pittsford village. There are many burials with no stones. Most stones face west and many old stones are worn so that the verses are difficult to read.

The land on which the cemetery is located was originally a part of the Ozen KEITH farm. He settled on the east half of section 23 of Pittsford township in 1834. His friend, Daniel LOOMIS, took the west half of the same section. In the winter of 1835-1836 Ozen cleared an acre of land for a cemetery and in the summer of 1836 he buried his 86 year old mother there. Hers was the first burial in the cemetery. Later the rest of the half section was sold to George GOODRICH and Austin NYE.

This information comes from the obituary of Ozen KEITH who died 27 December 1885.
