Wixom Cemetery has been in continuous use since 1838, when it was established as the South Commerce Burial Ground, although the first burial, that of an infant named Israel Barrett, occurred in 1835. Two hundred thirty-three graves date from the nineteenth century and contain the remains of most of Wixom's pioneers, including the Alonzo Sibley and Ahijah Wixom families. Alonzo Sibley donated the land for the cemetery, which lies across Maple Road from Reverend Wire's home, where funeral services were held in the parlor. The wrought-iron gate and fence along Wixom Road were erected in 1899. The sexton's shed, constructed of cuspid block containing colored glass in a process used primarily between 1900 and 1930, was restored in 1981. The cemetery is presently owned and maintained by the City of Wixom.
