This category has been created in the county. It is a long ways outside of the town. It has also been placed on the profile.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Shouldn't this be under Yale, Michigan?  I'm trying to wrap my head around how to place  cemeteries in categories.  I thought it should be the lowest category possible.  Meaning  a city or township location should be under the county?

There are several other cemeteries under that sub category.
That is a good question.  I always look at the map before deciding the location.  In this case, the cemetery is located a good ways outside of town and is not in the town limits.  So even though FindAGrave says it is in Yale, that represents the mailing address and not the physical location.  This cemetery is located in the county thus why it was named in that manner.  I hope this explanation helps.
Oh, I didn't realize a map should be involved, but it makes sense if the coordinates point to outside the city.

If that is how it should be done, then Elmwood Cemetery, Lynn Township Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery should be listed in St. Clair County as they are all outside the city limits of Yale.  Am I correct in thinking that?

Should Lynn Township Cemetery be under Lynn Township, St. Clair County?  That township needs to be added to the St. Clair County, Michigan info.

Gosh, I am over-whelmend dissecting all this.
