IT'S IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO VISIT THIS CEMETERY.
CACHE: Container is NOT in the cemetery. Cemetery rules do not apply to the cache, only the cemetery. This is a park and grab in the road right of way placed with permission. NOTE: DT not changed from old cache, didn't think it was fair to those who earned the original ratings that may have used it for a grid challenge to lose such ratings. Today it's a 1.5/1.5.
CEMETERY DETAILS: 2 decades ago I got into a heated argument with the property owner about entering this cemetery. She said she owned it, but I had proof in hand that it is indeed owned by Lapeer Township. She does own all of the land surrounding it, so in order to visit the cemetery you'd have to walk across her land. Michigan Cemetery Law states she has to provide an easement feasible, in this case foot traffic only. To be honest, there's only 5 known people buried here and it's very overgrown with poison ivy and pickers. It's a bushwacking nightmare to enter. There's not a lot to see, but if you must the law says you have a right to go look. I have photographed all of the headstones and those are available at that website where you can find graves, I'll also attach them to this cache page.
CEMETERY HISTORY: This small cemetery was established as a family farm cemetery and wasn't added to plat maps, was noted on an old quadrangle map. It's on record as being called Cedar Hollow Cemetery and Harris Family Cemetery. Ann Harris was the first known burial in 1850, with the last know burial being for Sophia Harris in 1868. The genealogical society has the history on the Harris Family, and probably some information about Oren Shaw, who has no currently known relation to the Harris family. He may have been a laborer for the family. The others buried here are Daniel and Charles Harris.
