Gage Cemetery
Fenton, Genesee County, Michigan

Lat: 42° 51' 26"N, Lon 83° 41' 46"W
Fenton Township, Sec 1

Contributed by Len Thomas, Sep 18, 2009, last edited Sep 19, 2009 [len40tho@comcast.net]. Total records = 100.

To reach this cemetery from Fenton, at the intersection of N Leroy Street and North Road, drive north onto N Leroy Street for 0.85mi. Turn right onto Fenton Road and continue for 3 miles. The cemetery will be on the east or right side of Fenton Road.

Despite its age, this is an active cemetery, with lots of empty spaces for more burials. The cemetery was established in 1856. It is owned and operated by Fenton Township.

There are many broken stones, as well as many old markers that have deteriorated making it impossible to read them for any transcription. In November, 1992, A. S. Curry restored the cemetery.

I relied upon a Merle Perry, Jr., transcription, dated 1963, to be able to document the earlier graves. I walked the Gage Cemetery on Sep 16, 2009. This is a complete transcription.
