Just a guess, but the first public burial grounds in Bay County was in the village of Bay City on a sandy ridge called potters field. It was located south of Columbus ave between Saginaw and Washington. Burials there were eventually moved to Pine Ridge or Oak Ridge cemeteries as the village expanded. It existed from about 1839/40 until about 1860. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <MIBAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 9:21 PM Subject: [MIBAY] Cemetery called "Sand Hill" > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: lindakolinski1 > Surnames: Lutz > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.bay/4530/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I have been going thru some Frankenlust Township death record index and > have found references under cemetery called "Sand Hill".
