Other_Information
In 1885 a warranty deed was made
to set aside land for a cemetery for the town of Lakeville. The
first one to buried in there was that of John Stewart, a
homesteader. The cemetery was used for a few years before the
majority of the burials were buried in Middle Grove Lutheran
Church Cemetery which is located about 3 miles southeast of
Lakeville Cemetery. Since then, the cemetery has been neglected
for many years.
