Shelton (Auxier) Cemetery
Shelton Cemetery is about 2 miles north of the Dahlgren Township building on the property of Lavern Peters. It is in a wooded area (pictured grove of trees) in the center of a bean field.. not very many stones still standing here... (AKA Auxier Cemetery, for the Auxier Creek runs right near this). Large stone is of my 5th great grandfather Joseph Shelton. They also have an infant baby here but its grave is unmarked. There is a LARGE pile of stones in the center of the cemetery.. Most of these have the last name of GARRISON on them, Kyle Shultz

A. M. Auxier settled in the northern part of the county, or in Wayne County. Auxier’s Creek and Auxier’s Prairie were named after him. His son Benjamin Auxier is well remembered from a difficulty he had with a man named Grant, occasioned by jealousy of the latter with reference to some woman whose name is not to appear in this history. In connection with an affair Grant swore he would kill Auxier, and Auxier, wishing neither to be killed nor to kill Grant, caught him in the woods, bound him to a log with a strong with across his neck, and put out both eyes.
