This cemetery is on the NW corner of M-36 and Chambers Road which is four miles west and one mile north of the town of Hamburg, Michigan.

This cemetery is also known as the Whitcomb Cemetery. I was not able to find out who owns and maintains it. I did however compare my reading with a DAR list done in 1920 and have added those names. Judging from the dates it was established in the early 1800s.

I walked and read this cemetery in May 2009, it includes all existing and legible stones and markers at that time.
