St. Mary Visitation Catholic Cemetery County Road E, Randolph Township between County Trunk M. & Inglehart Rd Fenced in by Norma Braaksma who owns the farm surrounding the cemetery. In 1985 the only stone left in this abandoned cemetery is for Amelia Zachareske. It appears that the rest of the stones were moved. Contributed by Monna Aldrich. Thank you Jay Williams. Typed here by Anna Mae Axness, 2005 St. Mary's Catholic Church, also known as St. Mary Visitation Catholic Church and Cemetery was located in the Township of Randolph, just west of the intersection of County E and M, on County E. on land donated by John George Fisher and his wife Sophia to Bishop John M Henni, May 6, 1869. A church was built at that site in that year and services were discontinued in 1917. When the congregation disbanded they joined other churches in Randolph and Fox Lake. There was an understanding that the existing burials were to be removed to other cemeteries. In 1918 the building was sold and moved to Friesland where it is now a residence. The Township of Randolph has erected a sign marking this site. [Click on images for larger image. Use your back browser button to return to this page]
