WILLIAM GANONG CEMETERY
3036 HENRY RUFF ROAD
WESTLAND, WAYNE CO. MICHIGAN 48185
This is compilation of five different readings, probably not
complete, but to date 354 gravesites listed. Readings by the
Sarah Ann Cochrane Chapter, NSDAR in 1930, Recordings by Arthur
Booth in 196-, Reading found on www.geocities.com/michhist/ganong.html,
Readings from October 1988 on file at the Westland Historical
Society and given to me on 22 Febuary 2002, and a Reading by
Paulette Quarterman and Keith Knapp in October 2002.The land for the
cemetery was set aside by William Ganong in 1832, from a portion of
his farm land, so that family and friends would have a place to be
buried. The Cemetery now belongs to the County of Wayne.
The Westland Historical Society hopes to find interested people to
help maintain the Cemetery and restore it to a good condition.
I am descended from William Ganong and would be interested in
hearing from anyone with an interest in the Cemetery or connected to
the family. I can be reached at soozieq033@cs.com.
