The Etherton Cemetery is located in the northwest corner of section 34 of Madison Township in southwestern Mercer County, approximately 1/2 northwest of Modena. It is abandoned and inaccessable by vehicle, and very little remains of this old family graveyard. The following information has been compiled from various sources including old surveys, census records, burial records and family histories. It should not be considered a complete list of burials.
