To reach this cemetery leaving from Roseau on highway #11 drive approx 6 miles west, turn right (north) highway #89, for approx 4 � miles, watch for 350th St, turn left (west) & drive 1 � mile, the cemetery will be on your right (north) side on this gravel road. The church is just west of the cemetery.

This cemetery was established in 1900 and consists of 2 acres of land acquired from Sanders E. Lee. The Deed reads as to The Norske Synoid Concordia Menighed. Filed for record on this 13 th day of December 1917. The first church had been built in 1910, which fire destroyed on 24 Jun 1974. The 2nd church built was completed by Dec of 1974.

The Concordia Lutheran Church are the owners and the cemetery is well maintained by the members and there families. The cemetery is very good conditionand continues to be used for burials.

I did a complete walk thru, taking readings of all visible headstones, this is a completed transcript as of Sep 13, 2010. A digital camera has been used for pictures.
