ALSO: The Michigan Family History Network redesigned its web site in November, 2011.  In the process, several of its own internal links to Highland related files became "broken."  If the links above cease to work, or do not take you to the information you were looking for, the problem is with the MFHN site - not our own.  We apologize for any inconvenience in this regard.

Transcribed with additional notes by Diane Needham, these records are posted to and part of the Michigan Family History Network; an excellent resource for anyone interested in Michigan genealogy.  Highland Cemetery (sometimes formerly called "Highland Centre Cemetery") was established in 1849 and is located on the west side of North Milford Road, just north of its intersection with Michigan Highway 59 (M-59).  The West Highland Cemetery was the first laid out in the Township in 1835-36, and is located on the east side of Hickory Ridge Road, just south of its intersection with M-59.
