Hi Joan,
I would think there are more than one Olivet Cemeteries because it is a common
church name, but on a hunch I checked into one and it would seem to be yours.
Mount Olivet Cemetery in De Pere, Brown County just south of the city of Green
Bay proper, on Erie Street. It is located in the southwest corner of Section
31, town of De Pere. It appears, from the map, to be in the southwest corner of
that sections. That pretty much fits your SW SW 31. The exact plot must be
".15.6" if section 31; T(township) 23 N(north) - R(range) 20 E(east). There are
many old cemeteries in that very historic small area of the county, going back
to the 1700's. Allouez, which is the historic French/Metis Catholic burial
grounds and reburial ground for the original Catholic cemetery of the late
1700's and early 1800's; St. Norbert Abbey Cemetery, which for the Catholic
Order; Greenwood Cemetery - very large public city cemetery; and Bildings Farm
Cemetery - small, private. Hope this helps you. Rita - Oconto County

I found reference to a cemetery in an old Adams County death record
that is
not listed in "Cemetery Locations in Wisconsin" (Herrick & Uncapher,
Origins, Janesville, 1999). It gave a cemetery name and legal land
description on the death certificate:
Olivet Burial Ground, located SW SW 31.15.6
The Adams County Register of Deeds, who is also the Wisconsin State Old
Cemetery Society contact for Adams Co., says this is not in Adams County.
Can anyone tell me where this is located?
Thanks for any help,
