Formerly known as the Baptist Cemetery



At least two Dorchester cemeteries became burial places long before the church cemeteries were established.


St. Peter Lutheran Church bought land for a cemetery in 1889. The marker of Friedrich Schmidt in the Lutheran section of South Memorial Cemetery, dates his death at 1887; two years earlier.

Also, why was the one acre of the Dechaine farm (now a part of South Memorial Cemetery) deeded to St. Louis Catholic Church on the very same day Mr. Dechaine bought it from Mr. Hugoboom? Could it be, because that area of the farm already contained burial sites??

The Norwegian Lutheran Church bought land for a cemetery in 1888 and the marker with the oldest date in their cemetery, is that of a Mary Brandes, who died in 1882…six years earlier. Beaulah Jensen Fischer.
