I have some information that I hope will help you all. Both cemeteries that were mentioned by Susan (Rest Haven Gardens) and Laurie (Calvary) are in the area that you are interested in, Gary. Rest Haven is a fairly new cemetery. It is located on Hwy 53 at the junction of I-94 (just beyond the "Chicago" exit.) My father is buried there and all the stones in that cemetery are the flat stones, which indicates to me that it is a new cemetery. There are alot of Altoona people buried there. Unfortunately, it has not been indexed or transcribed. Calvary is also reasonably new, and is located next to Hwy. 53, closer to the Hamilton Ave. area. There is a mausoleum there and many of the stones are flat, as with Rest Haven Gardens. This cemetery, too, has not been indexed or transcribed. But there is another cemetery right next to Calvary that IS old! It's called Oak Grove and is often thought to be a part of Calvary cemetery. It is also very close to the Hamilton Ave. area and just up the road from Robbins School. This one has not been indexed, but is in the process of being transcribed. I have been in contact with someone from the GRS of Eau Claire who will do some lookups. Please give me a little more info on Nathan and I will pass it on to her and see if she can find something. Also, I have a list here of the cemeteries in Eau Claire Co. that have been indexed/transcribed, so if anyone has questions, please feel free to ask and I will tell you if the cemetery you are looking for has been worked on. I hope this helps. -- Nance
