    3. To: Angela in N.Z. I recieved this from my son in Wisconsin today. Hope this helps you find your ancestors. Bill Haines Laguna Hills, Ca. There is an old cemetery on Northcape Rd and Ryan Drive (County trunk OO) which is technically Muskego. It is called "Luther Parker Cemetery". Originally called "Durham Hill Cemetery". It was given to early English neighbors by a man named Levi Guild, in 1836, and dedicated to Muskego's most illustrious pioneer and first European settler named Luther Parker. It is marked with an historical sign near the road now. It is overgrown with natural vegetation but the sign says that the original settlers buried their neighbors there amongst the wild flowers on the prairie and they are trying to keep it looking like it did at that time. They do a yearly burn off of the area in Spring and that is the best time to visit to view the gravesites. Do you think this is the cemetery she could be speaking of? It is very close to Hales Corners.
