Byers Cemetery and Bainbridge Cemetery in Bainbridge Township – on Territorial Road.
These two cemeteries are actually linked together and only divided by a row of trees.
Martin Byers, in the March of 1854, sold one acre of land for $1.00 to be used by the Bainbridge township residents
as a burying ground.
Bainbridge, the adjoining cemetery was established 1907 when more
property was added to extend the size of the cemetery. Cemetery is now township owned.
Because I am working off of contributed files, old listings and obits,
I am not 100% sure which area, Bainbridge portion or Byers portion for interments because the old and new being
separated by only a row of trees.Byers & Bainbridge Cemeteries
