This cemetery is just north of MN 30 on 530th Ave on the left hand side of the road. There is no sign that I can see nor easy access unless they put a bridge across the creek in the foreground in the spring.
All the memorials entered for this cemetery are based on a reading done on 21 July 1978 by Gary Richter for the MN State Genealogical Society. He transcribed 36 names from headstones and added the balance of the names from a very inadequately kept sexton's register. The latter names are so noted on the memorials. As time permits, I will further research those people by trying to find obituaries or vital records at the County Courthouse. I have basically come to the conclusion that the dateless names are people who purchased the plots, not the occupants. Most have a familial relationship to an individual with a headstone. One of the dateless names is of someone demonstrably buried elsewhere.

As of 4 June 2011, I consider this reading as complete as possible. I have
1. Created memorial pages for individuals on FindaGrave.com by entering the data from a 1978s reading for the Minnesota State Genealogical Society in St. Paul.
2. Photographed all visible headstones and posted the photos to the memorial pages.
3. Created memorial pages for those individuals not in the 1978s reading by entering data from the headstone photos and posting the photos to them.
4. Compared the resulting list to a list generated at the Cottonwood County Historical Society from obituaries and added any additional names.
5. Compared the list to the Sexton's register of internments. The Township Clerk says that they do not have a register per se but gave me copies of a plot map that they have created from the information available.
6. Done a final walk through using a list of names without photographs, to see if I missed any headstones.
7. Provided a copy of the list of headstones which includes birth and death dates to the Cottonwood County Historical Society and the Township Clerk.

NEXT STEPS:
Hope for additional names to emerge from further research or found documents.

Faithfully, (The Rev.) Marilla J. Whitney
