Cemeteries Worth Saving Says Enthusiasts in Wisconsin
Wisconsin cemetery enthusiasts urge preservation as cemeteries serve as public art and cultural history. They note varying sizes from city burial grounds to tiny rural plots and warn many stones, especially 1850s to 1870 marble slabs, deteriorate. Transcribing tombstones preserves memory when stones fail and records pre 1906 deaths. The Wisconsin State Old Cemetery Society since 1971 has identified sites like the 70 in Portage County and offers contact for more information.
