The legal description of the land occupied by this cemetery is described in a deed dated December 4, 1917 recorded in Liber 205 of Deeds, page 532, Washtenaw County Records, as follows:
'Commencing at a point in the south line of lands owned by the Michigan Central Railroad Company in the intersection of the highway running on or near the north and south quarter line of section seven in the township of Lima; thence west along the south line of said Railroad Company's land eleven chains; thence south three degrees east nine chains and fifteen links; thence east eleven chains to the center of said highway; thence north three degrees west, nine chains and fifteen links to the place of beginning, containing ten and 65/100 acres of land in the east half of the north west quarter of section seven in town two south, range four east, excepting and reserving two and 77/100 acres of land off the west side of said described land sold and deeded to the Oak Grove Cemetery Corporation February 1st, 1889, also a strip of land two rods wide conveyed to William A. Boland and now owned by the Detroit, Jackson and Chicago Railway Company.'
This is a catholic cemetery which was organized in the spring of 1889, and the first burial there was on April 26, 1889. A number of persons were later transferred from the St. Mary's Cemetery, in Sylvan Township, however. It is situated at the east boundary of the Oak Grove Cemetery, at the east end of Middle Street, in the Village of Chelsea, Washtenaw County, MI.
Transcribed from a list that was compiled for the friends of the Chelsea Public Library under the supervision of Harold A. Jones in 1959. The inscriptions were copied in October of 1958. Data in parentheses was taken from death notices from the Chelsea Herald and the Chelsea Standard.
These inscriptions were transcribed and the photo taken by Barbara Burns in Sept 2002.
