Names of those belonging to these families, 
whom no one knows where there buried. There 
were small cemeteries on farms in the 1800's. 
One, local to many of these families, was in 
Montrose Twp., Sec 30. It was then, and is 
today, on the thrid farm north of Grape Creek 
bridge, West and North of Summitville. 

There are several people, whose names were 
later recorded on Scandinavin stones, who are 
actually buried in this lost cemetery. 

OTHERS, SHOULD BE BURIED HERE
