Does Anybody know???
I have found 8 relatives using the Chippewa Court records and Our Saviors Lutheran Church records. These 8 relative are deceased, between yrs 1884 to 1905. When I asked where they might be buried (which cemetery)no one seems to know. At that time did Our Saviors Have a cemetery? Where? Are there platte maps for the cemetery's?
I appreciate any comments.
I was reading previous posts. Should I be checking for obits. first??
I may have even found connection to a different relation from a previous post. This message borad is great.

Most likely Sunset Memorial on the north side of Montevideo, Minnesota. You can try calling the city offices. It sounded like they are willing to do lookups.

Another popular one is Terrence Lawn Memorial Gardens on the west side of town by Camp Release Monument. Last time I was there they had a phone number posted at the main gate.

You can check obits at the Montevideo Public Library. They have newspaper microfilm. For some of your years, the Monte newspapers did not seem to publish any obits on anyone. If you find an obit, it might refer to Montevideo Cemetery or city cemetery, both are now Sunset Memorial.
I attached a screen shot of my Google Earth for the area.

One more thing about obits from 1884 to 1905. If the newspaper even published one, it might say that services were held at the Norwegian Lutheran Church which does not narrow it down much. Even a 1900 map will show several Norw Luth Ch, German Luth Ch, Swedish Luth Ch and not the actual name.
The online census might help with the township name.
You listed Gippe. There was a Gippe family living in Tunsberg. So that name might show up in the cemetery in Watson, the Zion to the NW or Immanuel to the NE. I need to know first/last names to help you further. Even Brono north of Montevideo.

There is an Our Savior's Lutheran Church and cemetery, in Lac Qui Parle County, between Montevideo and Dawson on Highway 212

To Mike Andrews
Thank you so much for all the comments I will use them
I was at the Sunset Memorial last summer -I spent most of the day there. I don't think I walked it all, I couldn't figure out the format- it seemed like old was mixed with some new ???. Who would have any information on the lay out???. I do plan to go back.
A bit of history
My family John O Berg (Olssen) (Verdal Norway) Married Christine Anderdatter Nelson Hammer (Varmland, Sweden). He was a tailor- he is listed as a tinner in an old Monte Directory. The place was located apprx where the Design Store is. They were in Monte before 1888 & after 1905.
They were members of Our Saviors. They left behind

Gustav Hammer--nephew
Oluf Hammer-nephew
Martha Nelson- mother
Olaf Julius Auker Bergsonson
Ester Magdslene Berg-daughter

I have a picture Album that was given to me. The names were told to me and Grandma died a month later. We found out there were no names on the photos. I have been trying to name them ever since. I have some finished. Visit www.picasaweb.google.com/bdwilken --put your curser over the pictures and see the comments
I also have 2 pictures taken in Appleton and I am ever so curious to know who they are.
I grew up in Bloomington, not knowing any of this until I was about 30.

Thank You ever so much

There was North Star Cemetery a few blocks south of the current water tower. It was active 1876 to 1883. They moved the graves because of the water supply.

Information on Sunset Memorial, the city offices are connected to the police station off of hwy 7. It sounded like they were willing to do lookups. I am going to try again to get at least a listing of anyone passing away before 1950. Otherwise I will continue processing my 5000 pics of it.

Pretty much the only way to indentify pictures like that are looking through church photographs. The ones with confirmation or sunday school graduates.

Not sure about Our Saviors between Dawson and Montevideo. There is a Baxter church with an index online.
Well, I guess the Baxter church is Our Saviors.

That one had a close relationship with Saron Church east of Montevideo. I attached a map. Hwy 7 is under construction east of Walmart so look at the map and head south until west of Black Oak Cemetery (tarred road) then head east. Saron Church has a gazebo with a cemetery map. There is a old cemetery north of Saron Church with a couple of markers called Palmer Creek. There is an approach next to it. Neighbors dog(s) will bark but they do not cross the road. There is a Benta Berg marker out there on Palmer Creek. Passed away Aug 21 1887. 65 years of age. She could be a surprise relative.
I attached Benta Berg's photo, a general view of what to expect if you visit Palmer Creek Cemetery and a map of the cemeteries on the east side of Montevideo.
You know you are a genealogy geek when you get lost and as soon as you see a cemetery, you know exactly where you are.

Again alot if information! But a Genealogist keeps it all. With my Bohemain side of the family I had 2 names and information for a year before I connected the facts and found out they were my GGrandparents, in Hutchinson area.

My Gosh, the Cemetery pictured is a mess there must not be a care taker.? how sad.

"You know you are a genealogy geek when you get lost and as soon as you see a cemetery, you know exactly where you are." ......This is so funny.......
Thank You

There is a Bohemian cemetery maybe 5 miles west of Hutchinson, MN just of highway 7. south side of road.

The cemetery pictures for Palmer Creek Lutheran Cemetery. They were adding a tree planting along it when I took the photos. I have been thinking of making a basic sign for it. I will try to ask Saron Lutheran to the south if they have records for it. Find out who the landowner is and try to get permission to work on it.

I drove by there last night and noticed there may be a burial record book at the cemetery. If you let me know what names to look for I can check next week.
