Cole Cemetery
Reedsburg Township, Sauk County, Wisconsin

Lat: 43° 31' 14"N, Lon: 89° 57' 18"W

Contributed by Kathy Waddell, Jun 21, 2002 [kaffe03@yahoo.com]. Total records = 199.

On Junction Road off Hwy 136. Junction Road is the first road to the right off Hwy 136 about a mile or two south of Hwy 33.

The cemetery dates back to 1857. Dorris M. Berning originally copied this cemetery in 1962 and came to the conclusion that everyone buried in the cemetery was related to some degree.

An obituary for Enoch I. Shultis who died in 1944 stated that he was the 84th member of his family to be buried in the cemetery. Since then, an infant's section has been added and it is unknown if these babies are related to those buried in the older section of the cemetery.

This cemetery has been known as Reedsburg Excelsior Cemetery and also Union Cemetery at times in the past.

Thank you to members of the Wisconsin State Old Cemetery Society for information provided from copying the cemetery in the early 1980's.

I walked this cemetery Apr 16, 2002 and have transcribed from those readings.
