Cemetery
 Glenwood
Cemetery was established in 1857. It is one of only a few
mid-nineteenth-century Michigan cemeteries to feature a rolling
landscape with winding roadways. The original cemetery, the western
section of the present grounds, displays a broad range of historic
funerary art. The focal point of the eastern portion, developed in
1925, is a granite Neo-classical-style public mausoleum. Among those
buried in Glenwood are:
Jacob Smith,
Flints first white settler; Governors
Henry H. Crapo,
and Josiah Begole; Lieutenant Governor William Fenton; William A.
Patterson and James Whiting, carriage and automobile builders; J. Dallas Dort,
co-founder of the Durant-Dort Carriage Company and Dort Motor
Company; and philanthropist Charles S. Mott and Harlow Curtice of
the General Motors Company.
