Dexter Twp., Washtenaw County, MI

This cemetery is located on Lima Center Road. From downtown Dexter, go west on Dexter-Chelsea Road to Lima Center Road. Go north for 1.7 miles and the cemetery is on the right side of the road. There is no sign any longer at the site. Per the Dexter Area Museum at 3443 Inverness, Dexter, MI 48130; Telephone: (734) 426-2519; [email protected], this cemetery was called the Lindemann Cemetery, then it started to be called the Four Mile Lake Cemetery as it is very close to the lake and the people that lived there were starting to be buried there. Today, it is known as the Dexter Township Cemetery as the township is responsible for the upkeep of it. All directions previously on this cemetery were from the Cement Plant (which no longer exists, and is now a Feed Mill in the year 2002)
