Maudlin Cemetery, aka Basswood Cemetery

New Buffalo Township, Berrien County, Michigan

Located at the corner of Maudlin and Lakeside Roads on the southwest side, accessible via a staircased embankment (hard to find cemetery). Many stones were missing when the cemetery was read. This is not a complete reading due to the missing headstones. In 2001 the cemetery is in HORRIBLE condition with exception of a few standing markers and a dedication monument (pictures available via email).

NOTICE: Bolded entries below indicate questionable information. The --?-- indicates either a missing or unreadable date due to wear.

Information is always welcome, see more information on Maudlin below the cemetery readings.
