MILL CREEK CEMETERY A.K.A. Buzzard
Cemetery
Catalogued August 30, 1975 by Mr. & Mrs. Glen Ewing of Richland
Center, Wisconsin. Located along a town road 0.5 mile west of County
Trunk E, section 36, Town of Sylvan. The cemetery land was owned in
1874 by J. G. Ewers and in 1895 by N. I. Ewers. It began as a
churchyard cemetery of a United Brethren Church. It became public
following the removal of the church building. The nearby settlement
of Mill Creek once added to the livelihood and status of this
Pine Valley section west of what is known as the Mill Creek flowage
southward toward the village of Boaz. A grist and saw mill, barber
shop, U. S. Post Office, cheese factory and a Methodist church formed
the nucleus for all local residents of the valley. It's modest
beginning later gave way to the more commanding location down stream of
the once second choice village of Boaz. This small country cemetery has
been well kept. The first known burial was in 1855.
