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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

"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."

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."
