    1. Re: Location of Prairie Cemetery near Fennimore, Grant County, Wisconsin
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/1060.2 Message Board Post: The cemetery is located about 3-5 miles outside of town on Highway 18 going towards Prairie du Chien on the right hand side of the road. It is a big cemetery. It was also known as the White Cemetery or the Prairie City Cemetery. Arthur Barnes Section Second Block 332 Lot 3 Space 1 12/4/1891 - 2/19/1956 Marcia May Barnes Section Howell Block 10 Space 59 5/6/1895 - 8/18/1982 Howell section is on the east side on the cemetery. It is divided into three sections by roads running from East to West. If you take the first entrance of the cemetery, the Howell section starts from the highway and back to the fence line. (North to South) Block 10 would be in the middle section. The second driveway divides the Howell Section from the First Section. Second Section is on the back fence line and is a little harder to explain the boundaries. You can stop at the City Clerk's office for a map of the cemetery. If I remember correctly, the map is upside down. Library may have a copy of the sections in the cemetery book. They have updated information on the cemetery. If you email me, I can give you more information. Diane
