Location
This active cemetery is located on the west side of Highway 83 at the junction of Highway G, Section 9 Genesee Township. It is opposite Jerusalem Cemetery.
[ Back to top ]
History
The cemetery was established in 1852. Salem Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church was established in 1851 after some dissension among members of Jerusalem Church. The church was built in 1853. The congregation was dissolved in 1878 and most of the members went back to Jerusalem Church.
The first Welsh person to die in the area, Ann Roderick in 1842. She was buried on the Thomas Jones "Maesmawr" farm in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 1, Genesee Township. Thomas Jones' son, John, died in 1844 and was also buried on the farm. Both of these burials were later exhumed and reburied in Salem cemetery.
The Jerusalem and Salem Cemeteries, since March 10, 1921, have been under the direction of one cemetery association, first called the Genesee Welsh Cemetery Association. On April 5, 1948, the name was changed to the Wales Cemetery Association.

Tramscriptions
This cemetery transcription may actually be for the Jerusalem Church. I am awaiting confirmation from Larry & Linda to find out if these stones were on west side of Hwy 83 or East side.
See also Jerusalem Cemetery.
This is only a partial listing of burials in the cemetery.
