Kerton Cemetery
 

A cemetery called Kerton was located along Kerton Creek, near State Route 100, on the west side. John Kerton and his wife were buried in this family cemetery. Kerton Township was named for this pioneer who came here in 1835. John is listed in the 1840 census as J. Curten, between the age of 50-60 years. His wife is also listed as being between 50-60 years. It is presumed that he died sometime after 1840. There is a reference to Mrs. John Kerton in the 1879 History of Fulton County:  "Deacon Abraham F. Brown, now of Schuyler county, was the first to preach in this township, being called upon to preach the funeral sermon of Mrs. John Kerton."
