Trinity Lutheran Cemetery. Located in section 22, Argyle Twp., Sanilac County, MI. 
Located on east side of Ubly Road (M-19) approximately one and a half miles south 
of Argyle, MI. Trinity Lutheran church which was located in front of the cemetery 
was closed in the 1950’s, the church building no longer exists. Ten acres of land 
for the church and cemetery were donated by Frederick “William” Behr. Where the 
church sat is now a private residence. The cemetery cannot be seen from the road 
and at this time there is no sign indicating where it can be accessed from. The cemetery 
is inactive. It is located north of the Argyle Twp. Cemetery. Read October, 2009 by 
Margaret Wegner and Jesse Willerton and in 2010 by Heather Smith.  Information 
in brackets ( ) was gathered from other sources. It is unknown how many gravesites 
exist. Burial information was gathered from church records and family information. 
In addition a Lutheran cemetery in Section 36 located on property owned by George Rehil 
was vacated in the 1930’s and some of those buried were transferred to Trinity Lutheran 
cemetery to be re-buried. No records have been found to identify those transferred. 
Many graves do not have markers.
