Rowe's Corners Township Cemetery, Manchester, Washtenaw County, MI

Tips    |   Advanced

Index  |    Site Map

Rowe's Corners cemetery is situated next to a beautiful brick church with a tall steeple. The church is 50 feet by 32 feet with 3 windows on each side, and 2 windows on the end. There was a later addition added onto the back. The church was dedicated on 12 Nov 1876 and the cemetery itself is very well maintained and has quite a few monuments. A debt of gratitude is owed to the late Harold Jones of Chelsea for his 1958 reading of this cemetery. Without him many of these stones would now be unknown. **Important note - Unfortunately several errors were found on the 1958 reading, so many of these stones (some in poor condition) cannot be verified.** Lucile Uphaus verified this township cemetery is separate from the Rowe's Corners cemetery, and Duane Haselschwerdt verified that no burial records exist. The data in <> was obtained from death notices in the Chelsea Herald and the Chelsea Standard.

A special 'thank you' to Larry Miller who did the reading of this cemetery in May 2000. If you have any questions about the content of this data, Larry can reached at the following email address: larsfiredome@gmail.com
