The cemetery directions leaving Roseau on Highway #11 driving west for 11 miles you see the cemetery on your left (east side) before you cross over the railroad tracks, ahead will be the town of Badger on your right side (west).

This cemetery was established in 1902 on one acre of land donated by Brede C. & Marthe Sater. The owner is the Badger Creek Lutheran Church. It is in very good condition, still used for burials.

No church is present at this cemetery. A cemetery sign is in place. The cemetery has a small stand with cemetery map, location of burial listing of those buried here, there is a chain/wire fence around the cemetery area.

I did a complete walk thru, reading all visible headstones. This ia a completed transcript as of Aug 30, 2010. A digital camera has been used for pictures.
