The cemetery is a mystery. My great-great grandfather died in Detroit in 1959 and his death certificate says he was buried in Haven Memorial Gardens in Wayne County. However, this cemetery does not seem to exist. I've called many cemeteries in Detroit and he wasn't buried in any of them. I tracked down the funeral home director, who is now retired and living in South Carolina, and he said that while he does not remember burying Arthur LEEDY, he said that Haven Memorial Gardens was somewhere in the Ypsilanti area - it's in a rural area, he remembers. So perhaps there was a name change? I don't know. Thanks, --Chris S. Washington State
