Read More	History of the Woolrich Cemetery John Rich, the entrepreneurial immigrant, moved his woolen mill from Plum Run to a new town of Factoryville, in the 1840s. A small community, soon called Richville and later Woolrich, grew up around the mill. A few interments in the local graveyard appear to date from the late 1840s, although most burial activity began around 1880. Initially, the cemetery was deeded to the Woolrich Methodist Episcopal Church. This arrangement continued until 1927. At a meeting 27 June 1927, lot owners decided to incorporate and form an association. A charter was granted to the Woolrich Cemetery Association by the Clinton County Court at No. 1, September Term 1927. Charles Howard Rich donated additional land for the cemetery, and more was purchased from Woolrich Woolen Mills. At an early date, the roadway through the cemetery was part of the main highway and the land above the highway was divided into sections, one through five, and A through D. In 1941 , additional sections six, E, and F, were laid were out. A chapel was planned for the middle of section E, but this was never built and the land was laid out for burial purposes. In recent years , Ed and Joan Summerson, members of CCGS , became responsible for the oversight of this cemetery. We are grateful to Ed and Joan for data provided on the cemetery history and from the cemetery records. They laid out Section 7 on the vacant land to the west of the existing cemetery. The cemetery is well-maintained and still active. *Note that CCGS uses a different section system than the cemetery association. Additionally, the Woolrich Cemetery Association is responsible for care of the Rich Family Cemetery at Crestmont, Dunnstable Township, where the founders of Woolrich are buried. [Inscriptions from this cemetery will be found in the Dunnstable Township Cemetery Book.}
