About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Wixom Cemetery originated as the South Commerce Burial Ground. In 1838, Wixom pioneer Alonzo Sibley (1810-1896) donated an acre of land for a cemetery purposes immediately south of his home. Sibley was the first president of the future Village of Wixom as well as the first president of the Burial Society. The cemetery has historical significance as the final resting place of Wixom's earliest pioneer settlers including Ahijah Wixom (1794-1855), after whom the Village took its name, and Reverend Samuel Wire (1786-1870), pastor of the First Free Will Baptist Church from 1853 to 1860. On October 23, 1987 the South Commerce Burying Ground (Wixom Cemetery) was listed in the State Register of Historic Places as Michigan Historic Site No. 1464.
