Saint Mary's Catholic Cemetery
Atwater, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota

Lat: 45°08'32"N, Lon: 94°46'54"W

Located 2 blocks north of Minnesota State Hwy 12, on the west edge of Atwater, Minnesota.

Contributed by Daniel J. Downs, Aug 15, 2001 [djjdowns@email.msn.com].
Total records = 88.

Atwater has never had a Catholic Church. The congregation met at St. Patrick's in Kandiyohi, but were buried here instead of Kandiyohi. - From cousins that live in Atwater

fs/w after the entry indicates that there is a large stone for the Family with the surname, and only first names are mentioned on the headstones. Dashes indicate that a the individual may still be alive or a death date was never put on the headstone.

s/w indicates a shared headstone. If I omitted names, or incorrectly misinterpreted information, I apologize. Please contact me for corrections.

I tried to group individuals in this report by family groupings of headstones, to hopefully make separation easier. I transcribed this cemetery in Jul 2001.
(Editor's note: some editing and reformatting was done to make it possible to sort, no information was deleted)

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
