The proprietors continued to operate the burying grounds until 1847 when it was deeded to the Township of Southfield. At the same time the Township purchased 2 1/2 acres of land costing $37.50. Additions since 1847 make a total of 5.6 acres. The cemetery has continued to operate into the 21st century.
The most famous person memorialized in the Southfield Cemetery is Harry J. Brooks, a test pilot for the Ford Motor Company. In 1928 Brooks set a world distance record flying the "Ford Flivver". Brooks crashed in the Atlantic Ocean on his return flight and his remains were never recovered. A headstone memorial in his honor has been placed in the Brooks family plot.
