Salem-Friedhof Cemetery

Submitted by Ermadean Boardman who writes:

This Cemetery is found in Sec 29 of Farmer Township in Rice County.  From Bushton, take Main St. south to the end, turn west to the first corner and go south 3 miles.  It is just north of the Salem Methodist Church. The old country church burned a few years ago and they built a very nice new Church.

I walked this cemetery in April of 2011 with camera in hand.  It is a well kept cemetery.  There are some very old graves, but it is still being used. The stones are very readable.  I found very few names in old lists that I didn't find stones for.
