Old Prospect Hill Cemetery
Many of Fenton’s early developers, politicians, businessmen, and veterans are interred in this cemetery, which was established in 1834. Clark Dibble, who made the first land purchase in present-day Fenton in 1834, and Dustin Cheney, who accompanied him to Fenton, are buried here with their families. Phillip McOmber Sr., the first Genesee County prosecutor, and Daniel LeRoy, Michigan’s first attorney general, are also interred here.
