Sashabaw Cemetery
Inscription
Although burials were made here as early as 1836, it was 1849 before residents of Sashabaw Plains formed Sashabaw Burial Association for purposes of “fencing, improving, ornamenting, and keeping the burying ground . . . in proper repair.” A center alley was created and the price of lots set at one dollar.
The association meets annually and maintains the cemetery. A sizeable addition was authorized in 1949.
