Oxford Township Cemetery
The Oxford Township Cemetery is located just outside the present Village of Oxford on West Burdick Street, which becomes Seymour Lake Road as you travel west.  According to Oakland County records, in 1838 Oxford Township purchased an acre of ground in the SW quarter of Section 22 for use as a cemetery.  The first known burial was that of William Maxwell, who died in 1838 at 19 years of age.

N. Oxford Road Cemetery
The North Oxford Cemetery is located on North Oxford Road, between Noble and Oakwood Roads in Section 12 of the NE quarter.  The oldest part was the pioneer burying ground, which served the early settlers in that area.  There is no record of a church having been near the cemetery, but there was a school.  It was the practice in early days to hold meetings in the schoolhouses when circuit riding ministers came.  Cemeteries were traditionally located near the schoolhouse.
