ST. KILLIAN'S CHURCH CEMETERY
Copied November 2, 1974 by H. A. Dieter, John, Coleen and Paula
Olson, Ken Schmitz and Rose Slaney. The location is two miles north of
junction of State Hwy. 130 and County Trunk B; thence one mile east to
church in Section 1, Town of Buena Vista. The church and cemetery
grounds were donated by one Anthony Schmitz. The church was built in
1885. All grounds are in excellent condition. German nationality
is well represented by name and unique monument structure. Old country
metal cross markers with German inscriptions on both iron and granite
are truly interesting. Many Irish and one Norwegian are in the minority
by name only. There are presently 5 veterans buried here.
