ST. MARY'S CEMETERY - KEYSVILLE
Catalogued June 28, 1975 by H. A. Dieter. Located along County N three
miles east of Ithaca, section 14, Town of Ithaca. The cemetery is a
church cemetery of the Keysville Catholic Church, It is situated on
high ground where County N approaches from Wis. 130 and Ithaca Valley
off Wis. 58. The grounds are in good condition. There are several
unique monuments, iron crosses and miscellaneous types of markers
depicting the old German influence brought here from the Fatherland
before the Civil War. Irish representation remains in the minority
today, largely due to the merging of both nationalities from the
locality's pioneer days. The first known burial was in 1857, thirty
years before construction of the present church building.
