Cemetery named for Jacob Fahlstrom who converted to Methodism in 1837 and for his work as a missionary to Indians and as a lay preacher to white settlers. There are about a dozen graves. The location of the graves is undisclosed but there are several markers made in granite, metal, and concrete. A memorial marker on the graves of Jacob and Margaret Fahlstrom was dedicated by the Historical Society of the MN Conference of Methodist Church in 1964. In 1997 the Fahlstrom land was sold for the development of homes. The developer cleared underbrush and improved the cemetery by installing crushed rock paths and a wrought iron fence surrounding the markers. See: "Afton Remembered" published 1996, pg 53, by Edwin G. Robb at MN Historical Society, Call No F612.W49 A376.
