Cemetery History
St Frances Cemetery was established July 11, 1903. The land was purchased from Gerhard and Martha Aschoff. Prior to that, there was a small cemetery behind the old church. In 1972, additional land was purchased from Joe and Lucy Aschoff. The parish priest took care of cemetery affairs until after Father Buehler's death in 1971. Francis Kiser was caretaker of the cemetery for 14 years. Upon Father Furlong's arrival in 1970, a cemetery board was organized. The cemetery board sells grave sites, issues deeds and takes care of all matters of upkeep and improvement.
In recent years, the large cross in the cemetery was moved south to the new section of the cemetery. Old trees were removed and a row of new trees was added to the south edge. A new fence and entries have been erected and an additional concrete driveway was installed in the east section.
In 2014 Paula (Young) Sauser completed extensive work on mapping the St. Frances Cemetery making the above directories and cemetery map possible. We thank her for her invaluable work!
1n 2023 Babyland was designated and the directory display was added near the cross.
