In 1890 a plot of ground lying one mile west and 1/4 mile south of Gandy was donated by Mr. John Schrader for a cemetery site. (T17, R28, S12) This was done at this time to accomodate the burial of his friend's son, John Brosius, Jr. who was killed in a haying accident August 1890. In 1946 more land was purchased south of the original plot. A couple of years later, evergreens were planted around the entire plot and native grass planted. The cemetery is well kept by volunteers of St. John's Church in Stapleton. The cemetery was formally consecrated as a Catholic Cemetery in 1915 by Reverent Aloysus Kampman. Sometime before or in 1889 John Beckius dug a grave (at night) for a Mr. Kuchgestner. All the information we have about him is he was a homesteader. The grave was on the land owned by John Schrader. It is believed that Mr. Kuchgestner's death could have been from a contagious disease which was the reason for the night burial.
