Maple Grove Township Cemetery
Layton Corners, Saginaw County, Michigan

Lat: 43° 10' 14"N, Lon: 83° 58' 13"W
Maple Grove Twp, Section 22

Contributed by Len Thomas, Oct 18, 2008, last edited Sep 22, 2011 [len40tho@comcast.net]. Total records = 129.

The cemetery is located on the west side of Bueche Road between Ferden Road and M 57, about 1/4 mile south of M 57. From Lincoln Road at Layton Corners take M57 east for one mile, turn right or south onto Bueche Road and continue about 1/4 mile.

The cemetery was established in 1877, is owned by the Maple Grove Township and burials are only for residents of that township. It is an active cemetery, with evidence of much upgrading of the site underway. It is a very lovely setting.

There are many broken or unreadable old markers and monuments, original cemetery records were destroyed by fire many years ago. This transcription is a combination of walking the cemetery in September, reading earlier transcriptions, and adding recent records from the township offices, and still there must be other graves that are unmarked. Special thanks to township treasurer, Cheryl Bishop.

I walked and read this cemetery on Sep 28, 2008, including all existing and legible stones and markers plus above mentioned assistance.
