Shearer Cemetery, Plymouth, Wayne County, Michigan |
About This Resource:
Shearer Cemetery, 45452 North Territorial Road, Plymouth, Michigan. This Plymouth Township Cemetery was established in 1832 by John Tibbits. The Cemetery is now abandoned and overgrown with brush, and is no longer performing active burials. Although the name is Shearer and there are members of the Shearer family buried here, they were not the only families located on this site.
Apparently because of the condition of this cemetery, there are several discrepancies in the stones. Most remains were removed and re-interred to Riverside Cemetery in Plymouth.
The information in this database was collected from the following sources:
- Plymouth Mail articles by Sam Hudson
- D.A.R Cemetery Transcriptions
