Refered to as the Nyren Burials. The graves are north of the large rock and by the large upright stone shown in the photo. These graves are inside the Lake Bronson State Park and are awkward to reach. Go north of the Town of Lake Bronson on Hwy #15 and turn right on 240th St. Continue east for 2.8 miles and at the point the road turn sharp left you turn sharp right onto a sandy trail that heads Southeast across the field. Continue until you reach the trees and turn right and you will face the park gate. Walk west past the gate a short distance and you will notice a trail on your right leading towards a large rock. The two graves are just past the rock and are marked.

The Oakview Catholic Cemetery is located a short distance northeast of Northcote, Mn. From the town, drive east on County road #4 and turn left on the first gravel road. You can see the cemetery ahead of you on the right side.
This cemetery was established in 1890 but was eventualy abandoned. It was recently restored as indicated by the sign I have included. One of our members
was involved in the work.

This Cemetery is in St. Joseph Township located 8 1/2 mile north of Lancaster on Highway #59, turn right on #52 on (gravel road) and proceed for half a mile to a gravel pit which is on your left. When you are looking north the cemetery is on your right, close to the road but on a steep bluff. It is marked by a tall wooden cross as indicated in the photo. The Cemetery appears abandoned as the barbed wire fence is down on all sides, the grass has not been cut in years, and only one grave marker is present. The words on the marker are; Baby - Lewis Leskiw - 1922. None of the other graves are marked.
