Location: The Roos Cemetery is located southwest of Lyons village, on the north side of CR RS and east of TR 13-1. (NE1/2, Sec 24, T9S, R2E.)

History: The land the cemetery occupies was deeded to J.P. Roos in 1835. Local residents met at the nearby Maple Grove School House on April 1, 1854, formed a cemetery association, elected trustees and agreed to purchase burial land from Philip Roos. The body of Nehemiah Cone was interred at the site in August of 1854. Historians record this as the first burial at Rose Hill Cemetery, as it was first named, however markers with earlier dates are now found in the cemetery. In 1886 the cemetery was placed under the jurisdiction of the Chesterfield Township trustees.
