To reach cemetery from Miller Road in Swartz Creek MI drive north
on Seymour Road for 5.14 miles, turn left or west onto Beecher Road.
The cemetery will be on your left or south side of Beecher Road
in .5 mile.
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.
I compiled this transcription using a 1961 transcription by Merle
Perry as a basis. I walked the cemetery to verify the headstone
inscriptions and checked these against the records, with Sally
Lurvey, township clerk. All inscriptions are included, even if
a spouse is not deceased. This is complete up to Sep 09, 2008.
