My gggrandmother Wilhelmina Sophia Maria Dorothea Mosel WILKENS was buried there in 1883. Her husband Johann WILKENS was the minister of the church (I think Baptist) at Shavon - near St. Peter - about 1882/83. Thanks, Beverly Webster bevgen@onemain.com >> Beverly, I am not aware of a Shavon township in Nicollet county, (though I could be wrong) however, there is a Sharon township in LeSueur county, which is just across the river from St. Peter. You might try there. Good luck! Bonnie Menk Splettstoeser mspletts@aol.com Savage, MN
