Mount Carmel Cemetery, Cadillac, Wexford, Michigan – Lot C-15

This cemetery is just inside the city limits on the south. It is on the west side of U.S. 131 (also Mitchell Street) as you enter the town.

This is one of two cemeteries that a cousin and I visited in 2002. She is a Long descendent, and some of these graves are people who are unrelated to “my” family; they are probably related to her.

Margarete Long, 1903-1907

Mitchell

Della Thibeaut

Pomeroy

Beverly Ann, 12/5/1929 age 3 weeks, according to the cemetery lot card. It is impossible to tell if the date is a burial date or a death date.

Eugene Francis, 11/11/1928, age 1 month according to the cemetery lot card. Again, I could not tell if the date was a burial date or a death date.

Bernard Long, with a date of 27 February 1913 is also listed on the front of the lot card, but not on the back, which shows the grave locations. Bernard Long, also known as Benjamin, died on 27 February 1913 in Cadillac, Wexford, Michigan. He was my cousin’s grandfather, my 2nd great grand-uncle. My cousin related that her mother said the family had promised him he would be buried with his wife in Ontario, Canada when they convinced him to come to Cadillac, Michigan after she died.
