There is St. Peter's Cemetery (aka Bear's Grass), between Augusta and Fall Creek, northwest of Augusta -- see this link for map of location http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/MapServer?f_name=Saint+Peter+Cemetery&f_state=WI&f_latlong=444218N0911227W&server=TIGER (this is a long link, so if it wraps to a second line, be sure to get the whole thing in your browser's address area -- it ends with "TIGER" --without the quotes) I'm going to my family reunion in this area this weekend and will ask the family who has lived there for 70 + years to see if they are aware of any such cemetery. I'll let you know if I hear of anything. -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net
