The first cemetery was located at the east end of what was Superior Street, just beyond the Catholic and Episcopal Church.
When the town had to be moved, the cemetery had to be moved too. All graves that were marked, and those that could be located, were moved to a new cemetery about 2 miles south. The cemetery that is now known as Old North Hibbing Cemetery was at that time called Hibbing Park Cemetery and also Forest Grove Cemetery.
When the mines started stripping the overburden, many bones were uncovered which could not be identified. Some were reburied in unmarked graves but many went into the dumping cars and then on to the "dump" which now forms the eastern barrier of Hibbing.
(Excerpts from "Old Hibbing Cemetery" written by Mrs. Marguerite Scott, circa 1971)
