Lenawee County MI Archives Cemeteries.....Aten Cemetery - completed ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/mi/mifiles.htm ************************************************ Aten-Hendershot Cemetery, Clinton Twp, Lenawee Co, MI As compiled by Michael Ciaramitaro, Ypsilanti, MI (mike_ciara@live.com), in the year 2008. Aten Cemetery is located in Section 13, Clinton Townhip, Lenawee Co, MI at the intersection of Macon Highway and Allen Rd, between the towns of Tecumseh and Macon, MI and approx. two miles distant from each. Some of the older stones are badly worn and difficult to read. In cases where a stone was fully or partially illegible, I have indicated a reading of the stone from a 1940 D.A.R. compilation of this cemetery taken from "Gravestone Records of Lenawee County, Michigan," Vol. 3, by Harriet Cole Bowen, published by the Daughters of the American Revolution, Lenawee Co, MI, 1940. In addition, a brief list of gravestones that were present in 1940 but have since disappeared is included at the end of this compilation. Photographs of these gravestones are available at the USGenWeb Michigan Tombstone Photography Project website.
