Cemeteries of Faribault County
The information here is provided compliments of Diane Oldfather, Darcy Fritche, Betty Jean Sonnek, Joanne Hintz, and Tom Hintz.
In the future I hope to have the scanned township maps showing the rough locations of the cemeteries. Index of some of the markers at the cemeteries. New cemeteries will be added constantly through out the summer of 2003. The index may not be as current as the cemetery listings on this page.

the casket covers said on them.

Everton Family Cemetery (a.k.a. Van
Buren Cemetery) 101/27/25/N4NW Photo
Established: This cemetery was located in Section 25 of Elmore
Township. It was used from 1871-1896, then abandoned. The land has
been reclaimed for agriculture. Everton Family Cemetery was
established by his widow on 1.9 acres of the homestead of John
Everton after his death in 1870. The land was deeded to the Everton
Cemetery Association, and its locatioin was noted on subsequent deed
transfers. However, it no longer exsits. It was plowed over by a
farmer who bought the land in 1938. A lawsuit brought by the
Faribault County Historical Society in 1978 sought to gain control of
the cemetery, but the judge ruled that it had been abandoned, and was
no longer a valid cemetery. Old timers in the area claimed that grave
markers had been used in the cement foundation of the farmer's barn,
but those claims were never proved.
Dunbar Memorial Cemetery (a.k.a.
Zion's) - Photo 104/25/12

Location: From Wells take Cty Rd
22W to Cty Rd 21. Turn right and follow to Cty Rd 20. Turn left, it
is on the left side of the road. Note: Active
Note: Dunbar
cemetery is southeast of Minnesota Lake. It used to have a church by
it, but it has been moved. Betty Jean Sonnek also has a copy of the
plot map for this cemetery. The original records for the church that
used to be there are at the Methodist church in Wells. St. Paul's
cemetery is right around the corner from Dunbar Cemetery. Many of the
same families are buried in both cemeteries. There is a church at
St.Paul's, but it burned I believe in 1974. All original records were
burned also. However, previous to its burning, someone had a woman
who spoke German, and knew the families, transcribe the church
records into English. These records can be found at the Kremer house
in Minnesota Lake. There is extensive info on the deaths in these
records. The other two cemeteries are next to each other in Minnesota
Lake in a very beautiful wooded area. If you plan to visit these
cemeteries, be prepared to do some rubbings as there are many old
stones that can't be read.

same location. If you take Main Street E of the town of Minnesota
Lake, it is the first road to your right-on the very edge of town.
When you get into the cemetery-it is the section to your left. The
one straight ahead is St John the Baptist Catholic Cemetery, and the
one to the right is Oak Grove Cemetery. According to some records
this cemetery is actually located in Blue Earth County, which is
directly to the North. I believe Cty Rd 20 in is that county.

Schermerhorn Cemetery -Photo,
Photo2 104/25/29/NESE
Abandoned: 1900
History: This cemetery was donated to the Methodist Church, with the deed signed June 13, 1874. It gave the Methodists 2 acres of land. Philip B-and Mary Schermerhorn were the origional owners of the property, and the ones who donated it. In the 1880's the Schermerhorn farm was sold to Hosea Quimby, who gave the South half of the cemetery to the German Evangelical Lutherans-St Peter Congregation in 1891. They built a fence to divide the two of them. In 1903 land was donated to the Lutheran's by Charles Ramspott for a new cemetery nearer to town. This cemetery was abandoned, as the Methodists were no longer around either. In 1987 some of the people of Easton restored what they could of the cemetery. They put the remaining stones on a cement slab-all in a row.
This information all comes compliments of LuAnn Schrader. She has been one of the people restoring and doing a lot of the work on the cemetery. At one time she had crayon rubbings of the stones, and lots of information. In the 1990's a house fire destroyed most of this. What is here is what she has gathered since that time. This fire not only was a tragedy for the family, but for all history.
Location: The cemetery is in Section 19 of Minnesota Lake Township. If you take Cty 21 S of Minnesota Lake to 200th ST. (the first left after the curves) Take the gravel road to the left and the cemetery sits in the middle of the farm fields off to your right about 2 miles down the road. It is on the corner of 200th ST and Cty 115. You can also follow Main Street in Easton to Ash Street (stop sign) Go right to the stop sign and the left on 4th (Cty 115) Follow the gravel road until you intersect with 200th St. It is in the field on left side of the road.
Saint John the Baptist Cemetery - Photo
of new cemetery, Photo of old
cemetery section 3 NW corner
History:
This cemetery was at one time in Blue Earth County. It was moved in
1895 and most of the stones were moved with it, but not all of them.
And only some of the bodies were moved! When I talked to the grave
diggers they said they had to probe before digging in the oldest
section to make sure no one was buried there. At the end of this list
I have added the few stones that were found in the old grave and
repaired.
Location: The new cemetery is in Section 3 of Minnesota Lake Township. You take Main Street E of Minnesota Lake to the last road to the right. When you get into the area you will see what looks like one big cemetery. In fact it is 3 cemeteries. To your left is Peace Church Cemetery. To your right is Oak Grove Cemetery. And straight ahead is the St John's Catholic Cemetery.

(old Hwy 16) at the Bricelyn corner. Just after you cross over the
Interstate there is a blacktop to your left, Cty Road 21. Follow it
for about 3 miles North and the cemetery is on your left. As the
death dates range from 1866 to 1941, with most of them in the 1880's,
it is excellent condition. There were only 2 broken stones that I
couldn't read!

Location: The cemetery sits high on a hill and is
surrounded by many trees. If you turn South at the exit to Wells off
County Road 16 (old Hwy 16)- instead of North into Wells-you will
pass a County Park. Keep following the gravel road for quite a while
until you come to a crossroads, then turn right and immediately left
again. If you don't like driving gravel roads, like me, you can go
down Cty Road 22 to the first road to the right. Keep following it
and it would be on your left. It is section 21 of Foster township.
