I canvassed the Osborn Cemetery twice- once in 1988 and again in 1992. I was even trapped in the cemtery when the cattle herd surrounded my car and the graveyard. The graveyard was a half mile from the Post Office of Windom (established 1889/1890). It was very overgrown with only about 15 to 20 readable stones, plus at least as many field stones made of sandstone. I have identified many people as buried there based on funeral home records and obituary notices. It is very small and would not take a group of people long to fix it up. If you do come in to work on it, give me a call. I'm in the Stillwater phone book.....Mahlon Erickson ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2001 5:06 PM Subject: [OK-CEM] Abandoned Cemeteries > I have an old family cemetery that I just found not to long ago and have as > yet been unable to get it cleaned up, I have back problems and can not do > alot of lifting, bending and stuff like that.
