I've been posting a few cemeteries on my web page. Today, someone wrote to me, sounding rather upset that I had listed a tiny little cemetery (one stone and one footstone) as being near Springfield (Brown County). (That is what my microfilm says). This person who disagrees tells me that the SUNDOWN CEMETERY which is one small footstone that says "L.F." and one upright stone that has the names of Dorothea and Laura O'Callaghan (died 1879 & 1882) children of P.& M. O'Callaghan. The person that wrote to me assures me that this little "cemetery" is really in Redwood County. Does anyone know for sure? Coleen Alaska http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coleen

Hi Coleen Springfield is indeed in BROWN County in Southern Minnesota ... BUT .. REDWOOD County borders BROWN just North of Springfield, so unless the cemetery is actually in the town of Springfield, they may be right .. due to moving county lines since that time period Also possible that Springfield is the closest (large) town to the cemetery, which may be why it's listed that way Good luck on this one 8-D Thanks Dick Schweiss (List Admin.)
