Flint's First Cemetery was a piece of ground about an acre in extent known as the “old Patterson homestead.” It was bounded on the south by Fifth Street, on the west by Grand Traverse, on the north by Court and on the east by Church. This acre was deeded in 1835 by Mr. and Mrs. Wait Beach to the county for a burial ground. It was in use about eight years and twenty-five interments were made in it, when it was vacated. In 1841, a new location was chosen, known as the “old burial ground,” situated on the north side of the Richfield road on Kearsley Street about half a mile east of Saginaw Street. The bodies were disinterred from the original ground and reburied here. In 1842, John Beach deeded to the county an acre of ground as a first addition to this plat, which was the last addition made while Flint remained a village.
