  Rush Lake Cemetery Contributed by Janet Eiler |
Rush Lake/Krebs Cemetery is located on private property and permission should be granted before entering the cemetery grounds. The cemetery is not visible from the road. The present owner (2001) is Leonard Welsch residing at 8696 Grams Rd., Ripon, WI 54971 (920)748-7169. The story behind this cemetery is that one of the previous owners leased this land to a local canning company. As they worked the fields they got closer and closer to the cemetery boundry. They eventually moved the stones toward the center of the cemetery and started to work the cemetery grounds into the field. RushLake/Krebs Cemetery started out to be 1/4 of an acre and is little to nothing now. The remaining stones lay within the tree line between two fields. There has been no upkeep for years and is overgrown with weeds and downed trees. This reading does not indicate location of rows. Stones were transcribed as they were found.
