Point of Rocks Cemetery
Madison County, Montana

Lat: 45° 24' 42"N, Lon: 112° 26' 34"W

Contributed by Pam Burchfield, Aug 27, 2005, last edited Aug 23, 2008 [ouroots@yahoo.com]. Total records = 218.

Driving north on State Hwy 41 from Dillon, Point of Rocks Cemetery is located about 2.5 miles north of the Madison-Beaverhead County line, on the west side of Hwy 41.

Austin Linder donated the land for this cemetery in the late 1800s and a flag pole was donated by the Nyhart family, which is my family.

The Nyhart family takes care of the family cemetery and has an overseer to take care of the grounds. THe does wonderful job therefore the cemetery is in excellent condition.

I have photos of all of the headstones for this cemetery. This transcription is complete up to Jul 31, 2005.
