- Notes:
The first burial ground in the area was located in Charlotte, at the corner of Clinton and Seminary Streets, and was purchased in 1845 by the Eaton and Carmel Township Boards for residents of those two townships, including the city of Charlotte. When Maple Hill was opened, as is reported in several accounts, most of the bodies buried there were moved to Maple Hill, but a few remained because their physical condition made it impossible to move. That first burying ground is now Oak Park, a public park.
