St. Andrew's Cemetery
On August 5, 1852, Father Charles Louis DeCeuninck purchased ten acres of land for the formation of Saint Andrew’s Cemetery. The land was deeded to Bishop Lefevere on December 7, 1852. It was the first permanent Catholic cemetery in Grand Rapids. Louis Campau, the founder of Grand Rapids, and his wife, Sophie DeMarsac Campau, are buried in Saint Andrew’s. Also buried here are Father Andrew Viszoczky, an early priest of Grand Rapids and the pastor of Saint Andrew’s Church, and John Clancy, a lumberman and philanthropist.
