Putnam Cemetery: This cemetery is located in Sciota Township, Shiawassee County, Michigan. It is on Putnam road between Bennington road and Hibbard road. It is on the west side of the road about 3/4th of a mile from Bennington road. The drive is hard to see but once you find the drive you can view a couple of the stones. It set back about 300 feet, quite large in area, quite pretty as it is surrounded by trees and well kept. We started reading this cemetery at the south west corner.
