History
Originally developed in 1839, the Oakridge Cemetery property is 65 acres in size and composed of four developed sections. Oakridge Cemetery has approximately 11,000 burials and is one of the oldest and historic operating cemeteries in Michigan.
Beginning in 2000 a walking tour entitled "If These Stones Could Talk..." takes place, featuring actors portraying significant people from Marshall's past at their grave site.
Bellairs Corpus
Oakridge Cemetery is a “beautiful old cemetery” located on a high hill outside of New Zebedee. On Halloween night during his first year living in town, Lewis Barnavelt visits the cemetery at midnight in to try some of his uncle’s magical spells with his and his new friend, Tarby Corrigan. At an unsuspecting mausoleum, Lewis recites a spell that raises the dead – which later backfires on the Barnavelts (The House with a Clock in its Walls, 64; 82-90).
