Cemetery History

The Bendle Cemetery was established in the early 1800s, and is operated by Clayton Township. It is an active cemetery and inquiries should be directed to the Township Clerk. The cemetery is well-maintained and evokes nostalgia with so many large trees amid the headstones. The u-shaped driveway provides easy access to the entire cemetery.

Cemetery Records

Records linked below were compiled by Len Thomas in September 2008 using both a 1961 transcription by Merle Perry and from tombstone inscriptions during his own visit to the cemetery. These were further compared to records on file with the Clayton Township Clerk, Sally Lurvey. This also includes records of spouses inscribed on tombstones even if that spouse is not yet deceased.

    What makes us Different?

    Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

    Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
