Total records = 6.
From the intersection of Highways 11, 89 & 310 at Roseau, you
will drive east on Hwy 11 thru the city of Roseau, approx 6 miles
from that point you will come to County Road 129 on your right hand
side (south) turn here and drive approx 3 miles, you will than watch
for Goos Farm sign on a large rock, you will need permission from
the landowner, prior to going thru his property to get to the cemetery.
This pioneer cemetery started in the early 1900s noted to be
on one-half acre of land owned by the Claus Goos Homestead 1896
family. It is on private land owned by Earle Goos, in good condition,
and is no longer used for burials.
I walked this cemetery on Nov 19, 2009. This transcription is
complete and includes the reading of the 2 existing stones. I
have used a digital camera for pictures.
