Lakeview Cemetery was first established on three acres of farmland secured from William Van Sycle on July 20, 1850. It was originally known as the Independence Union Cemetery. Officers of the original association were James Bartlett as President and Horatio Foster as Secretary. The first burial that took place was Mr. Flavel Greenleaf in 1851. In 1870 the cemetery grew larger with the addition of six acres of land. In 1895 it became known as the Lakeview Cemetery Association. Independence Township took over the ownership, care and maintenance of the cemetery in 1948. Lakeview Cemetery now has approximately a total of 30 acres. In total, it has 10,691 graves. This number includes full size graves, cremation graves, baby graves, a veteran's section, three mausoleums and five new columbaria with a total of 480 niches. Lakeview is well known for its beautiful landscape, rolling terrain, mature trees, and is extremely well maintained. The setting is incredibly peaceful and tranquil being located next to Middle Lake.
