MATERNITY OF MARY - OLD ST. MARY'S CEMETERY

Manitowoc Rapids Township., Manitowoc Co., Wisconsin

Location: 0.4 miles south of Hwy. JJ on Hwy. 141 to Ellis St., then west on Ellis St. for about 200' to unmarked dirt road on the north side of Ellis St. About 300' down the dirt road is the cemetery entrance. The cemetery is visible from Hwy. 141. Indexed in June, 1975. ("WC" = wooden cross)

This cemetery was in very bad shape until Alyce Zietlow took it upon herself to clean it up and through much research, constructed wooden crosses for the stones that should be and are in the cemetery. There is no longer a dirt road, but a mowed grassy area leading to the cemetery located by a red fire hydrant on Ellis road.

Names in [Brackets] were from info from the tombstone pics taken 24 June 2001 by Shari.
If the person's first name is underlined, it is a link to the obituary.
