History

Holton Oakwood Cemetery is located in the northeast corner of Section 27, of Holton Township. Land was first purchased in 1876 for a cemetery in Holton Township. Since then, several parcels have been purchased for the cemetery which includes the Veteran’s Memorial area donated by Elizabeth Perysian. Our cemetery is about 7 and 1/2 acres and we are currently working on an expansion of its useable space.

Sites are available to township residents and non-residents.
